Sight seeing Warwickshire Worcestershire Oxfordshire
Bruce was excellent both in keeping us informed of any weather updates or issues before the flight, and in putting my 13 year old son at ease on the day. Both he and the flying club staff were friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of taking a sightseeing flight.

Bruce is the ultimate pilot that we could have wished for. Patient, friendly, knowledgeable and overall a top class person. We had an absolutely amazing journey to Alderney with so many landmarks pointed out to us we were amazed by Bruce’s knowledge. We would highly recommend any flight with Bruce

Fly from Coventry around Worcester and Malvern Hills
Great experience. First time flying for both my boys and our pilot, Bruce, was amazing, really helped reduce their anxiety before the flight. Through out the whole experience Bruce pointed out places, buildings, rivers, roads... really helped put context to some incredible views.
