Extended Scenic flight of the Lake District
The flight was excellent and we both really enjoyed the experience. Paul was a great pilot. He was very knowledgeable and a good communicator. The only reason I didn't score excellent was the length of time between booking and flying. The reasons for cancelling were genuine. I understand that the plane isn't available to Paul on Sunday or Monday which is a bit restrictive. Thank you John
