Kind words.

We flew from Stratford Upon Avon Racecourse at the weekend and had some lovely feedback from a very happy passenger.

“I’d just like to take this opportunity to compliment the team I had the pleasure of flying with yesterday (12th May) from Stratford on Avon Racecourse.

Russell J Collins and his accomplice Steve on ground crew were fantastic, polite, cheery and calm and were great to travel with. A wonderful experience and amazing weather/views,

I can’t thank Russell enough for his great skills and piloting! Not to mention their organisation and knowledge and booking of taxi and working with landowners and champagne and photo!

Thanks!!

Thanks once again, highly recommend!”

It’s lovely when people take the time out to send a testimonial – as we know how busy life is and to spare a moment of it for us is fantastic.  Many many thanks Harvey.

A beautiful flight………

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Emily Darnton

Just a few images taken during the inflation of our new Virgin balloon.  We did a lovely flight over Shipston on Stour in the beautiful sunshine -  a real treat.

We had a great crowd at the sports ground and some local residents were really pleased to have seen us setting up.

You too can fly with us from Shipston – just give us a call: 01386 593614 or book online.

A Glowing Testimonial…many thanks :0)

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Emily Darnton

Dear Russell, A brief note to thank you and Peter for an absolutely magical flight yesterday.

We arrived with no idea what to expect and from the moment we helped inflate G-BXMM to our champagne celebration, putting her back in the trailer and eventually leaving for home waving to our captain and fellow crew members the whole experience was one which will remain one of the best things we have done together.

We are looking forward to receiving our in flight picture which will be framed with our certificates.

Meanwhile we will be enthusing about our trip and recommending you to all of our friends and relatives.

Best Regards Peter & Ann
