Paul Harrison – The Ultimate Experience, 2022

Absolutely beyond words amazing. The experience of a lifetime. I completed the ultimate experience and every flight and moment with Aero Legends was first class. All the staff provide an outstanding personalised service.  You will not find a more friendly or customer focused team of people. Everyone from the pilots, ground crew and office staff are amazing. I would highly recommend Aero Legends and if you want to fly a Spitfire definitely go with them.  You will never forget your Spitfire experience. Thank you doesn’t do the experience justice, but thank you to  everyone at Aero Legends.

Robert Webb – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

I’d like to thank Sally, Tom and pilot Michael for the fantastic experience of my first Spitfire flight over Kent on Sat 6th Aug. If you are thinking of doing this, I definitely recommend it.

Martin Choudhury – Fly a Tiger Moth Experience, 2022

I’m glad I found Aero Legends in North Weald.

The stunning amenities provided allow visitors to indulge in the surroundings comfortably.

When I was visiting there to experience an old DH82A Tiger Moth; my expectations were exceeded spectacularly.

Michael Tomsett – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Most amazing day of my life! To victory roll along the white cliffs of Dover and then actually take the controls of a Spitfire was incredible! Very emotional experience and the Aero legends team looked after me so well! Pilot Anthony ‘Parky’ Parkinson is a true Legend. And all the ground staff could not have been nicer! Huge thanks to all.

J. v.d. Stap – The Ultimate Experience, 2022

A dream come true, and the Aero Legends team made it happen!

I took the Spitfire Ultimate Package, in which you fly three aircraft an airman in WWII would train and fight in: the Tiger Moth, the Harvard, and the Spitfire. This experience delivered every promise, I had a whale of a time, both up in the sky and on the ground. The flying was heavenly, I logged over 2 1/4 hours with these aircraft. The Aero Legends people are very friendly, helpful, knowledgable and professional in every aspect. At the end of the day, I went home worn out but thrilled. I know for sure: that ‘Spitfire grin’ becomes me! Thank you all!

Martin Belton – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Flew in a Spitfire May 2022 and by far the experience exceeded all expectations.

From arriving ,to the briefing ,to the flight itself the day was perfect. I was made to feel welcome ,was well trained and informed and given a flight of a lifetime. We flew over the white cliffs of Dover which was breathtaking. I was allowed to take control and fly the plane by myself for a short while . We did a loop the loop and flew in and out of clouds..a truly magical experience from start to finish.

A well organised afternoon and one that I will treasure and remember forever. Thank you.

James – Harvard Formation & Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Incredible experience from start to finish. Amazing helpful and friendly staff and the pilots were so skilled keeping the Spitfire and Harvard so close I could see my dad’s grin. Unforgettable day thank you.

Michael Fallbrown – Fly a Spitfire Experience Spectator, 2022

Brilliant day out, we came to witness Roger’s Covid delayed 60th Birthday celebration Spitfire flight, the Aero-Legends team made us all welcome, a very professional, knowledgeable group who’s enthusiasm shows in their effort to involve us all. Thank you again.

Oli Ward – Fly a Tiger Moth Experience, 2022

Fantastic experience. Lovely people. Wonderful aircraft. Thanks to Phil for taking us up in the tiger moth. Would love to come back again.

Clare Dobson-Last – Harvard Formation & Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Husband (spitfire) and son (Harvard) had the most amazing time all the staff so lovely and two smashing pilots, thanks to all involved definitely recommend.

Tim Maw – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Fantastic experience delivered by a very professional business. I flew from Headcorn where the Aero Legends hut sits just beside the grass strip. A warm welcome, great building, excellent briefing whilst sitting at a Merlin engine table and then the flight – everything about it was magical. Quite literally a dream come true so the expectations were very high and with so much potential for disappointment but the team absolutely nailed it. A stunning and immaculate aircraft and ‘Parky’ a complete legend. A treat to fly over my home and so many landmarks over to the White Cliffs and all beneath the two beautiful elliptical wings each side of the cockpit. Very emotional. I could go on but you get the picture… Can’t recommend this more.

Cai Dale – Harvard Formation & Fly a Spitfire Experience 2022

Sam and “Parky” were simply astounding. The care and attention that they gave towards us (my mum was in the Spitfire and I was in the Harvard) was unyieldingly courteous, personalised and open. Every aspect of the day and flight was covered with charm and detail. The flight itself was indescribable as words truly failed me. If I come up with the correct string of words to describe flying along side a Spitfire containing one’s mother, her father’s log book (he flew in the War) and the visual grandeur of a Victory Roll, I shall post them.

David Ryall – Harvard Formation & Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Battle of Britain weekend 2022 was the perfect time to fulfil a long-held desire to experience flying in the iconic Spitfire.  Achieving the dream with my RAF pal Parky was as good as it gets.

The sound of the Merlin engine, the cockpit environment, the manoeuvrability of the aircraft, the white cliffs of Dover – yep, worth every penny. It was an utterly superb day for me capped by my wife flying in the Harvard with Gavin Ashdown.  The time spent with the two aircraft in formation was a thrill.

All the Aero Legends team at Headcorn were delightful and made the whole experience something to be cherished.

Kevan Bush – Formation Spitfire Flight & Harvard Formation Flight, 2022

A truly unbelievable experience which will stay with me for the rest of my life.

From the moment we arrived on our flight day the briefing, ground crew and pilots ooze enthusiasm and friendliness. I flew in formation with my  brother Chris , his wife Sarah took up the role of camerawoman in the Harvard . Spitfire each side off we flew into the Kent airspace, unforgettable.

Thank you Parky, Charlie and Sam

Jo Revitt – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

An amazing flight yesterday in a spitfire from North Weald. The whole experience was unforgettable from start to finish. The staff are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable, all keen to give you the best possible time. Particular thanks to Jane, Jo and James and of course Charlie the amazing pilot. We shall return for another trip in the spring. Cannot recommend  highly enough – thank you

You were absolutely right about the location at Pent Farm, we were totally thrilled with the atmosphere and the experience of being so close to the Spitfire & Hurricane, seeing them take off, land and fly over the airstrip. We found it extremely emotional and amazingly thrilling. It was also incredibly well organised – thank you for an unforgettable memory – just what we wanted to celebrate my husband’s 70th!

We had a fantastic day that ran to time and ended in a truly memorable flight for James and I, it is hard to make a suggestion that could improve on it.

I have attached some photos for the gallery, but the best picture was the look on my son’s face when he got off the helicopter, that one will live in my memory for a very long time.

My grandad had a brilliant day – thank you so much for helping make it a surprise.

I would recommend you to anybody.

Once again thank you so much, xxx

WOW what a morning, I am still flying!!! , it was totally amazing and very emotional, I have sent an attachment of some of my photos for your file and for everyone else.

How can I put it into words! Amazing doesn’t really do it!

Whenever I talk about my day flying with the ‘Spitfire’ I can’t stop smiling. Meeting the pilot Charlie Brown and him showing us his flying skills in this wonderful aircraft – Awesome – you could almost see the ‘whites of his eyes’ he was so close, I’m sure our helicopter pilot shut his eyes a couple of times.

Thank you Steve and all your team for making this a very memorable occasion.

Firstly many thanks for a fantastic, memorable experience. I was part of the Buttling party (Rowdy Richard and brother Tim) We all thoroughly enjoyed, and are still re-living with colleagues as we speak. We have all confirmed that we must do again, and will be in touch in the near future.

Just to let you know how much I enjoyed the flight on the 3rd of July, it was a fantastic experience and an amazing concept, I am sure I will have to book another session in the future.

The adjectives have yet to be thought up to describe how brilliant it was to have a Spitfire flying just outside the window!

As Charlie changed sides and position regularly I’m sure everyone on board had plenty of time to take a variety of pictures from various angles. That done, the swooping from one side of the helicopter to the other was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever seen! The speed difference was amazing, and really gave a fantastic impression of the power and beauty of the beast!

It is an utterly unique experience, thank you so much for thinking it up and making it happen!

David Fielding – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

To All at Aero Legends,

Just to say that I can’t thank you all enough for making a lifelong ambition come true and for creating memories which will stay with me for the rest of my life! Ever since I was a little boy, I dreamed of flying but my ultimate ambition was to fly in a Spitfire, my all-time favourite aircraft. Thanks to Aero Legends

my dream became a reality. As a 2000hr plus PPL and flight instructor I thoroughly enjoyed my flight in NH341 ‘Elizabeth’ with the affable and excellent Flt. Antony ‘Parky’ Parkinson as my pilot.

My wife and I travelled from Northern Ireland to Headcorn for my flight and I can’t say enough about the hospitality, welcome and friendliness of the Aero Legends staff at Headcorn. From initial reception to briefing flight and post flight you were all so professional and friendly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the experience but for me the experience was totally immersive and almost spiritual given the unique Battle of Britain history of the area. My flight took me over the Battle of Britain memorial at Capel Le Ferne, the channel, looking across at nearby France and along the white cliffs at Dover gave me a real sense of appreciation for the selfless sacrifice of the ‘few’ and the appreciation of what a truly wonderful aircraft the Spitfire is.

You see and read many veteran and modern pilots accounts about flying the Spitfire, all saying that it is a superb aircraft, a pilot’s aircraft and a dream to fly…well it’s all true, it is all of the foregoing and more. I have spoken endlessly to family and friends about my experience and under the watchful eye of Parky being actually allowed to actually handle the aircraft in flight was the icing on the cake! It is a fantastic aircraft!

I have no hesitation in recommending Aero Legends to everyone and I have said to many people that if you have any interest in aviation this is one flight you have to make! Having flown quite a few interesting aircraft in my time I have to say that without doubt my flight in the Spitfire was truly the best aviation experience of my life so far, and I hope to have another go at some time in the future.

Thank you all sincerely for your welcome, hospitality and for making my dream come true!

Karen & John Taylor – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

The name says it all; “Aero Legends” they certainly are.  From the moment you are greeted at reception until you climb out of the aircraft at the end of the flight the experience is brilliant.  The whole team is enthusiastic and go the extra mile to make the day exactly what it is intended to be- magical.  They tell me I had a smile like a Cheshire Cat, well a large part of that is down to the people that are Aero Legends.  To Parky, Jane and the rest of the gang, a huge thank you for an unforgettable day!  John

Gillian Wilson – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Everyone contributed to make the day a fantastic experience for both my husband Ken (in an early celebration of his birthday) and I who watched and soaked up the excitement. We were warmly greeted by Jane and all of the support staff and volunteers were really friendly and helpful – pointing out the best spots for me to watch the take off, landing and the overhead turns. The pilot ‘Parky’ was enthusiastic and made us feel relaxed after the comprehensive safety briefing. The surprise present for Ken turned out to be one of the most memorable days ever. We were made to feel welcome and it was as though all of the people at Aero Legends understood how special the day was for us. I shall have to start saving for his next significant birthday! Thanks to all at Aero Legends.

Will Kotiadis – Fly a Tiger Moth Experience, 2022

Fantastic experience flying in a Tiger moth! Excellent service and oh boy what a lovely ride! Couldn’t stop smiling!

Gary Benneyworth – Fly a Tiger Moth Experience, 2022

Just flown in the tiger moth. Fantastic experience, staff friendly and welcoming.

Great pilot with huge level of experience. The open cockpit and wind really adds to the feel and of course the fur lined flying jacket for great photos.

Jane Dowse – Fly a Spitfire & Harvard Formation Experience, 2022

My husband enjoyed the most amazing experience flying in Spitfire Elizabeth. To add to the excitement I flew in formation in a T6 – Breathtaking from start to finish. The Aerolegends team and pilots are second to none

Leigh Roberts – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Purchased a flight for my father as a birthday present. Cannot fault the service! Polite, friendly, helpful and very knowledgable!

Such an amazing day, not just for my father but for myself and everyone that came along!

A day we will never forget! Thank you so much!

Mark Robinson – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

What can I say….. Just fantastic, simply amazing, incredible experience, awesome…..  and more.

From the moment we arrived for my “Birthday” treat from my children it was just great. Very authentic setting, beautifully set out and the best briefing table you will ever see anywhere in the World.

My personal wish for my flight routing was wonderful accommodated and executed by Antony “Parky” Parkinson, and he gave me an experience of a lifetime I will never forget.

Not forgetting all the crew at Aero Legends, including Mark and Leon on the ground who made sure I was well strapped in for the flight.

A wonderful experience….. if it’s on your bucket list…. Book an experience with Aero Legends and you will not be disappointed.

James Beaumont – Fly with a Spitfire Experience, 2022

An absolutely amazing experience from the brilliantly refurbished Squadron. I had the privilege to Fly Along Side Spitfire and WOW, what an experience it is! You sit comfortably in a luxury helicopter while Spitfire pilot puts on a show of a lifetime out of your window! I fully recommend this experience to everyone to make some unforgettable memories.

Rosalie Whitehead – Fly with a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Such an awe-inspiring amazing experience

So close you can see the pilot’s eyes!!

I would just like to thank you for such a fantastic experience last Saturday, and also to thank Jean for arranging the flight for my Birthday.

What can I say, Fantastic ! Fantastic ! Fantastic ! Can’t wait until you get the “Mossi” up and running, what an idea. Thank’s again for a dream day, My family enjoyed the air-display from the ground, then to top it all, being close to the Spitfire at Manston was the icing on the cake. Thank’s for a dream day.

Many thanks for yesterday – it was fantastic! Celia and I really enjoyed our day. The helo flight with the Spitfire was brilliant!

Just to say how much Nick and his brother John enjoyed their experience last week on their Battle of Britain Memorial day – they said it was absolutely brilliant and the timing couldn’t have been better.

Thank you for providing the opportunity to be part of a very memorable experience, made all the more poignant by being in that special place on that very special of days. Both myself and Mary really enjoyed our day, meeting some wonderful people in the most elegant of surroundings.

Shall certainly keep spreading the word – I’ve been telling everyone what a super experience it was and am still on a high from it.

The six who had taken part while FlyPast was observing could not contain their excitement. All thought that it was amazing and exceptional value. Action Stations! has a great web-site and passengers are encouraged to share their thoughts and images with ‘surfers’ – take a look!’

Read the article ‘Fly with The Legend’, by Ken Ellis , Editor of FlyPast

I Just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for a very special day on Saturday. Tony was blown away by the whole experience and everyone we spoke to had thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. He said he thought it was the best birthday present he had ever had.

I know Tracy has passed on thanks for the day on Saturday with the Spitfire at Walletts Court, but I also wanted to express my own personal thanks to everyone that helped make it such a fantastic day. The experience was just incredible, I absolutely loved the whole event.

An excellent sortie; thoroughly enjoyed myself and would happily recommend it to my friends.

Visibility was very good and the close flying was exciting. Missed a few shots because of the speed of approach but still very good overall.

Andrew Nottage – Fly a Spitfire & Harvard Formation Experience, 2022

Today I achieved my life’s dream and flew a Spitfire, something that never crossed my mind would be possible until I heard about Aero Legends very recently.

The team were amazing from start to finish, from greeting, briefing, preparing me for flight and of course the experienced expert hands of my pilot.

Nothing was too much trouble and how we managed to fit so much in a 20 minute flight amazed me.

Vicky Gilbert – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Amazing day. My dad flew Spitfire for his 60th and I flew formation in Harvard for some incredible photos of him. They were flexible with locations to fly over, the pilots are lovely and informative and everyone was really friendly. Experience was at North Weild, Epping and the whole family had a lovely day.

Jade Cerff – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

What an amazing day. The ground and support crew were friendly, helpful and made me feel very welcome. Jane welcomed me at the front desk and made me feel welcome immediately, she was very friendly and helpful in getting me kitted up before the flight. Jo was thorough and informative in getting me prepped and strapped in for the actual flight – again made me feel completely at ease. Charlie, my pilot, ensured he understood what I wanted to gain from my experience in the preflight brief.

The rest of the ground crew (sorry I didn’t get all of your names) were friendly, chatty and made me feel completely included and welcome at the North Weald airfield.

The spitfire flight itself is something I will never forget, Charlie took me out over towards Maldon to do some manoeuvres, and took care to make sure I was comfortable doing so. The views of London were spectacular on our return.

Overall I had a wonderful day and this flight experience is something I will remember and cherish all my life. Thank you very much to all who put so much effort into my day.

Amy Bell – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

Amazing!! What a fantastic day, a trip of a life time. All the staff are so helpful. Make a day of it, watch the other people spitfire flight experiences and have a bite to eat in the cafe next door. Great viewing area.

Gaynor Aspin – Fly a Spitfire & Harvard Formation Experience, 2022

Amazing! Welcomed royally by Chris at front desk. All staff fab!  Pilots Parky and Gav were fantastic! A truly privileged and fantastic experience. Thank you Aero Legends! A fab 80th birthday present for my husband!

Kimberley Catlow – Fly a Tiger Moth Experience, 2022

What an amazing experience I have had today flying a Tiger Moff (T-7109) really would love to experience this flight again. All staff were amazing and so polite and made you feel so welcome. Thank you for all your support and experience.

Katie Burridge – Fly a Spitfire & Harvard Formation Experience, 2022

Absolutely fantastic experience! My mum flew up in the Spitfire and I flew in tandem beside her (partly) in the Harvard – worth every penny. Thank you to all at Aero Legend for an excellent experience – a trip of a lifetime.

Finally, If anyone is half thinking of going on this experience my advice to them would be do it. It is a once in a lifetime experience. Its well worth the money.

I would be more than happy for you to use all any of these comments on your website as feedback.

Tim Maw – Fly a Spitfire Experience, 2022

I could go on but you get the picture… Can’t recommend this more.

Big thank you to all for today’s morning flight with Vera. Everyone made it go so well. Big smile and full memory card!

Hopefully I can make it down to Kent some day to fly again.

I’d like to thank you and your Company for such a great day. The weather was perfect (not sure how you arranged that one), the venue fantastic and the organisation beyond reproach.

Ken had one of the best experiences in his 75 years – he was really blown away and quite emotional afterwards.

My family and I enjoyed the day hugely as ground spectators, the humbling magnificence of the Memorial and the sight / sound of the Spitfire overhead was truly wonderful.

Taking a seat on the ‘copter myself is now definitely towards the top of my ‘to do’ list!

Attached are a few photos from the day – please feel free to include them on your website if you deem them worthy…

I know I said it to you on the day, and Janine’s emailed you as well but I just wanted to say thanks again for such a brilliant opportunity to see the Spitfire. The small farm strip was an amazing backdrop – in some of the photos there is nothing to date them and it could almost be 1940! I have posted a few shots on an aviation photography forum and although I’ve remained tight lipped about the venue, (I wouldn’t want to give away such a special setting) it’s got a few people talking about Action stations! I also made it onto the photos of the week with one of the shots!

What a day, it was just as I had hoped for and more! We were lucky with the weather but everything that could have been planned worked like clockwork and resulted in a brilliant day for my family and me.

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay in the Black Pig (which you had recommended) and the lunch we had in the Spitfire room at the Jackdaw, with all the history of the Battle of Britain film, was just perfect.

I particularly want to thank you and Michelina for looking after my family so well. I only learnt after the event at lunch in the Jackdaw how well you cared for them providing them with drinks and chairs and keeping them informed of the programme, so that they knew when and where to be to get the best view and have a chance to meet up with me.

Thank you both for a wonderful day I will always remember

Just a quick note of thanks for a most awesome and unique experience enjoyed by all the family. Very well worth waiting for.

Let me begin by expressing my immense gratitude at being given such a wonderful opportunity by yourself.

In ones life, if we are lucky, occasionally a day comes along when we can say no matter how much time or money I have there is nowhere in the world I would rather be than at this place, at this time, with these people!

You gave me such a feeling as this, and mere words cannot express my gratitude. An occasion such as this brings together so many emotions and feelings, your brilliant idea to give people the very rare experience to become part of such a day ,which I am sure will live with them always, is both exceptional and outstanding.

You remarked that my Father was with us that day, I am sure you were right, as indeed were all of “the few” to remember their great sacrifice and cherish our freedom to enjoy such days as the one you created on September the 15Th. All power to your elbow Sir, Both Vanessa and myself are hoping to join you and BN597 again next year, (for my 50th!), we will keep in touch.

I just wanted to send you a quick note with a very big thankyou to you and your team. Everyone was so friendly and willing to accomodate any requests, especially allowing my kids to view the planes up close. They loved it and my Dad was over the moon with his trip.

To see his face when he came out of the helicoptor was the best moment ever and worth every penny.

So thank you once again for helping to make my Dad a happy man.

It was brilliant, can’t stop boring people with the story!! Hope this venture continues to be a success for you. Once again many thanks.

For those that have not personally piloted a fixed wing this is the next very best thing.

For those who would like to fly a genuine Spitfire, this is the only choice – short of travelling to Canada or taking your NPPL (approx cost £6,000. It is a bloody marvellous experience, the organisers are very enthusiastic, you get to meet people with a very specific interest and the chance to reflect the question just – what if—?

I feel I must write and thank you all for the wonderful day out at Lydd. When the family gave me the ticket for my 90th birthday I said that I never envisaged flying alongside a Spitfire again and was quite overwhelmed. The experience I had on Friday was unbelievable. You and your comrades went out of your way to make it one of the days of my life, so much so that it gave a real boost to my ego.

Once again thank you all for giving me such a wonderful day. I enclose a snap to show what 70 years does. Thanks for the memory.

Words cannot convey the fantastic day we had last Friday. The whole experience was brilliant and thank you so much for so kindly agreeing to my son, to attach his video camera to a window of the plane. I understand he is sending or has already sent you a copy of this video – we watched it last evening and what happy memories this brought back to us. Your idea is fabulous and long may you continue to give so much enjoyment to so many enthusiasts.

Please thank all your friendly staff. We just will never forget the very special day and am telling all our friends of the fantastic day we spent. Thank you again so much.

Just about got back on ground from cloud 9 Nothing really prepared me for the experience on Friday and it was a million times better than I thought it would be. The most memorable bit for me was when the spitfire joined us for the first time in the air and was amazed at if how close it was. Truly very remarkable. Thanks to you all for such a wonderful experience and I wish you all the future success so this can be experienced by many people for years to come.

Just thought I would drop you a line to say what an amazing day it was on Friday 18th. More than met my expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A fabulous day all round. Thanks to yourself and your excellent team – superb all round.

Please accept my most sincere thanks for an incredible day which I shall never forget.

I flew on the double fighter flight on the 14th September 2013, and 24 hours later, I am still grinning from ear to ear.

As well as the day being fantastic personally, I feel a greater appreciation for those brave men (& woman) of RAF Fighter Command during the summer of 1940.

I wish your venture every success and look forward to flying again with you soon.

Yesterday turned out to be one of the most memorable days of my life, despite the date (although marginal visibility did delay things a wee while!). Flying so close to the Spitfire, and then getting up ‘close and personal’ witwas fantastic and something I will remember for ever. Hopefully I will be able to repeat the experience on a future date.

On behalf of all the Carter crowd on 15th September (Battle of Britain Day), I just wanted to say how much everyone in our party, flying and spectating, enjoyed the day laid on for us by you and your staff including helicopter pilots and ground crew.

As you know, I had this special day planned for almost a year, and I am sure that during this time there wasn’t a day that I didn’t anticipate how good a day it would be for us all. Well! You and all your support staff excelled and exceeded our expectations to a higher plane!! I could write pages and pages of details of how we were treated so well at your brilliantly devised tribute to the people that were so brave over the white cliffs of Dover 71 years ago. Without a doubt, to be privileged to share those skies with a Spitfire and Hurricane was a fantastic experience never to be forgotten.

To be able to close the day in the presence of your two beautiful aeroplanes at an end of day hangar party culminating with a veteran and his mascot dog trumpeting the last post in the sun set over the spitfire and hurricane was just a sight to behold.

The sounds of the 40’s played by the band in the hangar party and chatting with all the other guests which shared our unique experience on that day, was a perfect end to a perfect day. A special thank you to pilots Charlie Brown (Spitfire) and Dave Harvey (Hurricane).

Just a few words to say a big thank you to you and the whole team for such a memorable day.

As a reward from my Employer for starting with them 51years ago I could not have wished for a better surprise.

The video footage I managed to get from the Aviator seat was excellent and made good viewing for family and friends alike.

From my days as a young lad when I made just about every kit there was of the Spitfire to actually meeting one in “real life” is something I will live with me forever.

This is an experience I would recommend to anyone whether they are aeroplane fanatics or not.

Worth every penny.

Once again thanks for a great day.

Both Gill and I were thrilled with the whole day. We thought that the mix of professionalism and informality was absolutely spot on. Everyone, from yourself to the helicopter staff and pilots, and of course Charlie, made us feel as though the entire day was for our benefit alone. I think this was brought home to me, when our pilot noticed that I was straining to see the Spitfire, past him. I heard him radio Charlie and ask him if he could ‘just go up another ten feet’. Charlie obliged and I had a lovely view. How can you ask for more!

Thanks a million for making a dream come true. To fly alongside a Spitfire, flown with such skill, is about as close as you can be to flying one.

I was given this as a gift by my daughters and could not have imagined how I would feel at that moment when the Spitfire was so close to the helicopter I felt I could have reached out and tweaked Charlie’s moustache! The location is perfect and my family enjoyed the spectacle from the ground and looking around the Memorial. I was in the aviator seat but the pilots made sure that everyone on board got a close up view.

So well done again for a brilliant idea.

I congratulate and thank all those involved from yourself and Steve to the ground crew and pilots.

Professional from booking to end. I will recommend your trip to everyone.

Do not change anything. It was an amazing day.

If I had been asked to write down what I could hope to get out of the day – it far exceeded anything I could have expected or hoped for.

Organisation – First class!

Had a few days now to reflect and it really was a fantastic experience, I am still grinning like a small boy! The weather couldn’t really spoil things, I don’t think anyone who lives in this country expects clear blue skies and the pilots found a pocket of sunshine anyway.

I thought Charlie and the helicopter pilots were magnificent, particularly in the way they co-ordinated themselves, something which I imagine is very difficult was made to look so easy and I was struck how much thought they put into the positioning, Jeremy was flying ours and he went round the monument twice to make sure both sides had had a good view. All in all very impressive.

Thanks again for a wonderful time and best wishes for the future.

May I take the opportunity to thank you for running such flights – what a brilliant way to see warbirds in such a way. I wish you all the best in continuing to provide such flights and I will be in touch about going up again when I can!

The experience was quite simply amazing, a must for any enthusiast, from meeting the pilot, getting close to the Spitfire then witnessing the plane in action, the victory roll the pilot executed at the close of the session gave me goose bumps! Memories to last a lifetime.

Just to say we had a fantastic day with you all and a very special thank you to Steve and Charlie Brown for the special time spent talking to the young people and encouraging them so much , with the history of the Spitfire and the acknowledgement of the role played by our local area.

As you know, this was a brilliant finale to our local history and film making project and we look forward to sending you the finished product.

The children really enjoyed the whole day-even those who were just watching, and you all made us so very welcome-so thank you so much. Will be in touch soon,

Thank you to you and all the people involved on Saturday 9th April. You made it such a memorable day for the whole family.

My dad said it was one of the greatest days of his life. Thank you once again.

Thanks again for a most memorable day, I have had some wonderful adventure experiences all over the world but this takes the biscuit – no cake!

Could you make one significant recommendation that would improve the experience for future customers? ‘No I could not. It was a perfect day. Many thanks to you all for making it so!

The day itself was fantastic overall, my Mum didn’t know what to expect as you know, and everything fell into place nicely. The staff at Heli-Charter were all very pleasant and polite. The flight itself was smoother than expected, and it was great to fly over Canterbury. The meal at Walletts Court was great, not too heavy, just right, and ws a nice selection.

It was great to meet the pilot – he looked like he just stepped out of time machine!

Once again, many thanks for organising the day, it was a fantastic experience.

I look forward to seeing you again, and wish you all the best with the business and will be recommending the trip to many friends and colleagues!

It was an out of this world experience, which everyone should have!

When the Spitfire came into sight, it was if I was transported back into the Battle of Britain. At times the plane comes so close, it is if you can reach out and shake the pilot’s hand.
