Book your flight for 2013

Although the flying season runs from March (April officially) to October you can call us and book your flight date at any point throughout the year!  We have our flight diary open and we’re always more than happy to book you in weeks or months ahead.  In fact we would ordinarily advise to book about 6 weeks in advance anyway, with it in mind that the school holidays tend to be the busiest times of the year.  Call Emily or Russell in the office: 01386 593614 to reserve your space(s).  With flights from Shipston on Stour, Stratford upon Avon and Worcester there should be plenty of midweek mornings, evenings and weekend flights for you to choose from.

The summer is flying by…

Wow, well we must admit our summer hasn’t really filled our skies with lovely white fluffy clouds, warm evenings and late sunsets.  BUT all in all it hasn’t been that bad for flying.  In truth Russell has flown his socks off!  We’ve been busy busy busy and just wish it could have been like this for months.  Autumn is just around the corner and traditionally it offers some lovely days, slightly cooler evenings and lots and lots of flying.  Let’s all hope for a late summer and a very gentle introduction into Autumn.  Happy days.

If you haven’t booked your flight yet please get in touch: 01386 593614 or if you are considering purchasing a voucher then by all means give us a call or take a good look around our website – you can book online too :)

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.
