About Willie

I have had a passion for flying from a young age, so as soon as I had saved enough to embark on my training to be a pilot I started. With now over thirty years experience of flying light aircraft, your flight is guaranteed to be a pleasurable experience. I also have been a racing driver since 1974, and own an electrical contracting Company. I look forward to having you onboard.

Sightseeing flight around the local area (Turweston - 3 pax)

Very rarely am I compelled to right a review of my experiences, but in this case I had to make an exception. I acquired a flight with Magnificent Willie for my mother and holy moly she had an absolute blast. She was treated so well and has not stopped beaming after being able to see her local area from the sky. Absolutely first class and double bravo chap.

Day trip to the Isles of Scilly, take off from Turweston

Great day out flying with Willie. Very experienced and friendly pilot who gives you a great running commentary on your journey about the aircraft, the route and landmarks around you. Lovely plane with some very impressive modern auto pilot navigation kit. I would highly recommend flying with Willie!
