Excursion flight from Redhill with Martin

Excellent flight from Redhill to Alderney and back July 2024. Communication before and through the experience was excellent from Calum. We were very lucky with the weather. First class trip all round. Thank you.

Alderney by air - the fastest route to the Channel Islands

We had the most amazing day, highly recommend flying with Calum and visiting Guernsey. What a beautiful place. Calum was very informative and made sure we knew exactly what was going on, we felt very safe in his hands. I wanted to stay! Highly recommend. Thank you

Plane spotting at Kemble (Cotswold Airport)

We had a very enjoyable flight with Calum from Redhill to Headcorn and back. We flew over the cliffs in Dover and the war memorial. Calum is a very safe and competent pilot and easy to get on with. Looking forward our trip to Le Touquet in the Spring. He was very good at communicating via email to keep us up to date. Graham

Sightseeing flight from Redhill

It was a delight to fly with Calum. He flew us so smoothly with relaxed competence that it felt as if we were sublimely floating above the gorgeous English countryside, and the waypoints of Arundel Castle and Beachy Head amongst others were fascinating. He organised the route that we wanted and we will fly with him again, no problems !
