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 forty 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. All passenger will be provided with headsets to both protect against noise but also to enable us to chat during the flight. This will allow you to hear air traffic conversations and communications between us and air traffic control. You will be provided with a safety briefing prior to our flight, and also a weather update normally the evening prior to our flight.

    An amazing day flying to Sandown with Willie. Booked an experience for my aviation mad dad as a birthday treat and what an unforgettable day it was for him to relive his flying days as he sat up front. The entire experience was enjoyable and very informative. Willie pointed out all the lovely landmarks and POI along the route and with good humour dodged a few bumpy clouds for me!

    Willie gave us a fantastic flight from Turweston to Sandown in his superb aircraft. He was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience easy and fun. He even let me take the controls mid-flight, which brought back great memories from my own flying days. His uncle John met us at Sandown, and both of them were a pleasure to spend time with. We had a brilliant day and will definitely be booking another flight with Willie soon.

    Flight was excellent. We had really interesting experience, and a lot of information about small aircraft. Best idea how to spend weekends!
