  • Dan - Oxfordshire
    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.

  • Karen S. - Herne Bay
    Hi! 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

  • Garry And Tracey - Leeds
    Dear Michelina, I must say what an amazing experience - words cannot express the feeling as I'm sure you hear all the time, but I was very impressed not to mention emotional..

  • John and Jean - St Margarets Bay, Kent
    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.

  • Louise M. - Kent
    Dear Michelina, 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.

  • Pam and Jim W. - Folkestone
    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!

  • Derek P. - Canterbury
    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!'

  • Stuart McK. - Birmingham
    Hi Michelina, 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.

  • Marc and Celia - Broadstairs
    Hi Steve, Ruth and John, Many thanks for yesterday - it was fantastic! Celia and I really enjoyed our day. The helo flight with the Spitfire was brilliant!

  • Charles W., Maidenhead
    Dear Steve, I hope you like the photos. I've already bored friends, family, and work colleagues with them but I think they're great and I for one am happy to continue re-living such a brilliant day! Both Adele and I had a terrific time, and it goes without saying that I enjoyed myself immensely.

  • Ken, Neill & family - Essex
    Dear Michelina, I'd like to thank you and your Company for such a great day. The weather was perfect, 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... Thanks again!

  • Rob and Janine L. - Kent
    Dear Steve, 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!

  • Simon A. - London
    Dear Steve, I have to say my wife was totally thrilled by the experience and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The Gold ticket/Aviator seat was definitely worth it! Only wish I could have done it as well - will have to start putting some money in the piggy bank. Thank you for organising a fantastic day - I earned so many 'brownie' points ...

  • Paul R. - Sheffield
    Dear Steve, We visited the Battle of Britain Memorial and were greeted with a large crowd who had gathered to watch your Spitfire overhead. More photos were taken as Charlie did a Victory Roll above our heads. From the Memorial we travelled to Pent Farm for a Viewing of the Spitfire. I had no idea what to expect but upon arrival I spotted the Spitfire in a field. It was so easy to imagine that I was being transported back to 1940. There was no tarmac in sight or any building .It was the perfect location for the "ULTIMATE" experience.

  • Chris C. - Berkshire
    Stephen and Michelina! 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 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. Thank you both for a wonderful day I will always remember!

  • John B. - Hampshire
    Steve, 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 51 years 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.

  • Richard and Gill V. - Bristol
    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!

  • Nick G.
    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.

  • Chris, Michelle and Rio - Spain
    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! Thanks to all of you.

  • Gavin S. - West Sussex
    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...

  • Simon P.
    Dear Steve, As promised, please find enclosed a disc with a selection of my favourite shots from Saturday – a truly memorable experience, made all the more special by the significance of the date (March 5th, 2011 – the 75th Anniversary of the first flight of K5054). Good luck with your continuing endeavours with this venture – it deserves every success!

  • Stuart Humphrey - World War 11 Re-Enactors Magazine
    This experience was truly the best ever one I have ever had, it truly blows away any other ‘red letter day’. As the Spitfire and Hurricane both race across your flight path across the White cliffs of Dover, the fever of the heart increases and you can feel your pupils dilate in sheer exhilaration, as your helicopter matches speed with the two finest war birds ever produced in WWII. The team and hospitality are simply second to none, you will be dining out on this experience for many years to come.

  • Charles W. - Arundel
    Dear Steve, First of all, thank you so much for arranging and organising such a fantastic, thoroughly enjoyable and emotive day, or in our case two days! As I told you, it was such a wonderful concept that you came up with. You have quite evidently thought about the whole experience, how to present it and the passion that you show and what you are trying to achieve comes over clearly from the start.

    To get up close to the Spitfire is an experience that many enthusiasts, let alone pilots, just won't be able to achieve, but to fly next to one is just breath-taking. Thank you Steve, what a wonderful thing you have done. As Annie said driving home, to see people so ecstatically happy is a rare thing indeed!

  • Kathy D. - Dyfed, Pembrokeshire
    Dear Steve, 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!

  • Chris C. - Banstead, Surrey
    Dear Steve, Michelina and all the crew,
    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.

    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.

  • Paul R. - Sheffield
    Dear Steve, I enjoyed the experience of a lifetime when I flew in a helicopter alongside your beautiful Spitfire along the South Coast. When we took off, we were searching the sky for the Spitfire to come and join us. What a thrill we had when it zoomed upto us to accompany us along the South Coast to the Battle of Britain Memorial. After our flight, we guys were all smiling from ear to ear and chattering like a bunch of excited schoolchildren about what we had just experienced, AND WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
