Testimonials
The appearance of MH434 off the port wing was just ‘one of those moments in life’ never to be forgotten – truly magical.
What can I say, I am still smiling from the experience, flying next to a spitfire at 2000 feet is difficult to put into words, a truly unbelievable time
I must thank you for a truly wonderful day on 25 June when flying alongside the Spitfire in the Dragon Rapide and and then to have a flight in the Tiger Moth. The personnel who looked after us couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful and attentive. The whole experience exceeded all my expectations and the photographs which I took will remind me of a fantastic day for the rest for the rest of my life.
The ‘Wing-to-wing’ experience I had last Saturday was truly memorable. It was made extra special by everybody at Classic Wings doing their best to make it so. Firstly what can I say about the flight with the Spitfire – just WOW. Loved every minute.
Today we were able to see the most beautiful aircraft ever to fly, up close in the air. The tears flowed, the smile on my wife’s face will remain with me forever!
