  Excellent from start to finish. South African Brad is a wealth of knowledge and will keep you safe and entertained. I was lucky to have a glorious flying... read more day, allowing us to fly above and below the clouds and it was an amazing experience. I must have asked hundreds of questions about microlighting and Brad answered them all in detail. I never once got the impression he wanted to get rid of me and I swear I was there a lot longer than I should have been. One of the best experiences I have ever had and might even have prompted me to learn to fly. If you're wondering whether to do this or not, don't hesitate, just book it - you won't regret it.

  Brad was a fantastic host for us. Very knowledgeable and accommodating before, during, and after the flight and clear on instructions and what was needed of us. Thanks from Martin... read more and Julia!

After flying for just over an hour they returned and my son said "Brad was such a fun guy, with so much detailed knowledge and experience". I now have a very inspired 15 year old young man who is desperate to become a pilot!

  Really great experience with a very knowledgable, friendly and personable instructor. Felt very safe and in good hands. Would highly recommend!

You get a good grounding before flying and feel... read more as though you are an expert before take off. Or of course he will take you for a flight and you get to go over Bath if you so wish.
Brilliant pilot, brilliant teacher. What more do you need.

  Booked this experience for my wife’s 66th birthday. Brad was the ultimate host going through every detail to make her flight an amazing experience and I must say took excellent... read more care of my apprehensive wife prior to, during and after the flight. Tea and coffee supplied for both of us, if you need a bit more I can recommend the farm store and restaurant just outside the airfield gates. The experience was Excellent value for money and my wife received a video of the flight as well. Airfield is very easy to get to just south of Bath.

Brad has inspired him and the 7 other young adults who came to watch!!
Thank you so much!!!

  Great day on the microlite with Brad, he was very knowledgeable on the aircraft and gave a great tour of the bath area

  I bought my Grandson a Microlite experience as a present and treated myself to one as well. Our first visit was rained out of the skies by heavy showers half... read more way through, but Brad wanted us to experience microlighting properly and so invited us back a second time at no extra expense. The second time was brilliant with great pre-flight briefings and in-flight instruction. His enthusiasm and experience provided great confidence, even allowing us to pilot so much of the flight under his instruction. Back on the ground we chatted 'aviation' over the coffee provided for much of the afternoon. What we bought were two 20 min flights - what he delivered was a brilliant afternoon. Very memorable and recommended. Thanks Brad!

  I was given a flight voucher for my 12th birthday and it was the best experience EVER. I chose to go on the flexi-wing which Brad said was most like... read more gliding like a bird and it was incredible. I loved every second and felt safe with Brad telling me what to do. I even got to fly over my house and my school! I would really love to go again and my 85 year old Grandad is also tempted!

  I booked onto a microlight flight with Brad and it was absolutely amazing. Not only due to the experience itself but also due to the instructor Brad. He was very... read more funny and very clear with his instructions. He clearly knew his stuff and made me feel very safe. His main aim was to sure that I was comfortable and having a great time! Which I did! The whole experience felt very chilled - we weren't rushed out at all and even had a cup of tea afterwards. If you are looking to do it the this is the place to be!

  This was an absolutely amazing experience that I would throroughly recommend to anyone tempted to see what flying one of these aircraft is like. Brad was an excellent instructor and... read more I never felt anything other than completely safe in his hands, even when he allowed me to take the controls. Nothing is left to chance on the safety front and instructions were always very clear. We flew over some fantastic scenery (Bath and Cheddar Gorge) and the hour just sped by. In flight Brad explained everything I needed to know to get the most out of the experience. It was a bonus to be able to take the controls but if you don't want to do that you can just sit back and enjoy the ride. One of the best experiences I've ever had that left me buzzing!

  A fantastic experience with Brad. After many rescheduled flights due to covid we finally went up in a microlight and what an adventure. Brad was an excellent tutor and let... read more us both take control of the microlight. Enjoyed every second and recommend to anyone in search of a new hobby.

  Experience was totally amazing from the initial booking with Brad who couldn't have been more thorough. When we arrived he showed us to the parking area and then explained... read more the process.
He was very professional from start to finish, giving reassurance to my husband and reasons why all the necessary safety checks were required. The flight was about 30 minutes in total and during the flight my husband said that Brad was very informative about the areas they were flying over. My husband was totally blown away by the experience and will 100% recommend to friends and other family members.
Waiting area had refreshments and was also good to spot giving opportunity to take photos etc.
Definitely a special and worthwhile experience thanks to Brad.
From Kim and David James from Aberdare.

  Fantastic Experience. My husband had a 60min flight & thoroughly enjoyed it - even took the controls for half of the time. Brad was really, really nice - genuine and... read more friendly. From purchasing the voucher to booking in - providing us with full details & instructions. Most definitely recommend without hesitation. Thank you Brad for such a lovely morning 🙂

  What an amazing experience! From the time that I arrived to the time that I left Brad supplied a fantastic flight. Brad quickly made me feel welcome with his sense... read more of humour whilst running through the safety information. We were off the ground in no time at all and from that point onwards I could not have asked for more. Being able to fly over Bath, skimming the clouds and finally making a series of turns for the landing made for an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Brad and Great Western Airsports (I may even start training for my own pilot's license after this).

  My son treated me to an hour's microlight flight and Brad gave me an experience of a lifetime. It was a beautifully clear day and Brad was keen to let... read more me use the controls to help him fly the aircraft. We flew over my home village of Box, circled golf courses and Bath then travelled on to Cheddar Gorge before returning to base. Brad was so helpful and an amazing, patient pilot. Certainly made me want to return

  Brad couldn't have been nicer or more professional - what a great experience.

I didn't have much luck with the bookings as it was postponed a several times but... read more it was worth the wait - with breathtaking views and a flight plan tailored for me made it such a great day.

It was all captured on a GoPro camera for me to relive too.

  Brad is a friendly and personable guy who instantly establishes a relaxed atmosphere, yet also maintains an air of total professionalism with a high regard to safety. The Covid secure... read more procedures were also well thought out and sensible. I had an hours flight in the flexwing on a beautiful sunny morning and loved every minute. It's a particularly scenic part of the West Country to fly over with lots of interest to see with Brad acting as tour guide and instructor at the same time with consumate ease. Highly recommended.

  Firstly, I would like to say what a pleasure it was to spend time with Brad. A most friendly, likeable chap if ever there was one. With his relaxed style,... read more he instantly made my wife and I feel very welcome and comfortable during out visit.
Pre-event instructions were very clear and detailed and all communication through email and phone calls was always efficient.
I booked a sixty minute fixed wing flight. It was clear that Brad enjoyed passing on his wealth of knowledge regarding the local landscape as well as the instructional technical elements of flying the aircraft.
The flight experience was fun and exciting. I could also use “awesome” but I prefer “beautiful”, simply because, for me, it was. Brad soon passed control of the aircraft over to the novice and I had an exhilarating time flying around the Bath and Bristol area whilst Brad pointed out points of interest but most importantly for me, explaining how to fly the aircraft, explaining the theory, analysing my mistakes and providing encouragement.
Simply a great experience and would recommend anyone to give it a go.

Would highly recommend to anyone.

  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!

  Bought a flight for my wife as birthday present. Couldn’t have been better - I hour flight and one hour of grinning afterwards. Thank you so much!1

I highly recommend.

  I’m still alive! In fact it was sensational - the ride of a lifetime! I had the choice of fixed wing or open cockpit microlight, so naturally chose... read more the latter, which turned out to be more akin to a powered hang glider. Sat behind the pilot - imagine the back of a high powered motorbike - and we flew at 60-70 mph against the wind. We flew all round Bath, then up above the clouds, turned off the engine and glided for a bit before switching back on again. I had my first pilot’s lesson and got to steer the plane around the clouds. It was so much fun. I can’t wait to go again.

  My husband and sons thoroughly enjoyed their flights, Brad is very easy to get on with and an excellent instructor. All very well organised and very Covid safe.

I highly recommend Great Western Airsports and encourage anyone to have a go.

The flight itself was brilliant the views amazing, you are in contact with Brad throughout via a radio headset. He points out points of interest and lets you have a go at controlling the microflite whilst being himself in control throughout. He is a top bloke who obviously loves what he does.
