  The microlight experience was purchased as a gift by my wife. Brad followed al the required covid requirements and I felt safe and protected at all times. The... read more flight time was detailed as 1 hour and that is exactly the time spent in the air the safety briefing took place before the flight. Brad took me to exactly where I wanted to go (over my house and work place). I would recommend brad to anyone. …

  Well I was convinced my surprise was going to be a skydive so when we arrived at the airstrip and I saw the size of the runway and then the... read more microlites, I was a little bit crestfallen. But hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth eh? I actually really really enjoyed the flight that had been bought for me! The weather was perfect as far as I was concerned - nice and bright and clear and relatively warm (warm enough to think about not putting on a flight suit... but I did. You should too). A bit of cloud around is apparently good. Brad (the pilot/business owner) is extremely attentive in explaining all about the aircraft, the procedures, the weather etc and in answering any questions you might have. On top of that he's an extremely affable guy, I really enjoyed his company (quite aside from the rather vital fact that he was the one flying the aircraft!). I know next to nothing about the area we were flying over, but his commentary on various things we could see was welcome, helpful and entertaining. Between us we even managed to work out the name of the Tory politician whose country pile we were looking at - Brad had forgotten and obviously I didn't know (Jacob Rees-Mogg btw). We flew for well over the time that had been paid for (I'm guessing Brad didn't have another customer lined up straight after me). We went to over a mile in altitude. I was allowed to fly for a bit.... quite a bit! (It's a piece of piss, who needs a pilot apart from taking off and landing?) We turned the engine off and glided for a bit. We turned the engine back on. We saw south Wales, and north Cornwall. We had fun! Brad was just as attentive after we landed, offering tea and biccies and chatting. Fortunately my partner (who'd bought my surprise) had had another pilot to sit and chat with during my flight and she said that he'd helped the time pass for her and also answered all her questions and explained what we were doing and why... it's not obvious why you sit at the end of the runway for 5 minutes before taking off. In these pandemic times you should know that Brad pays excellent attention to the health and safety of his guests, his future guests, and of course himself. I was impressed with his attention to detail and was completely confident that I wasn't about to pick up anything catching before, during, or after my flight. All in all an excellent surprise. You should get somebody to buy you a flight too! …
