Absolutely brilliant - I thoroughly enjoyed my flight with a friendly and experienced pilot. He was fun to chat to and pointed out all places of interest during the flight.

Steve Boxall is almost certainly the most experienced gyroplane pilot and instructor in the UK and is a great guy too! Really kind, calm and reassuring, gave a super flight from this buzzing, friendly airfield (always busy with some fascinating aircraft movements). If you've not been in a gyroplane it is simply amazing - it does things you cannot do in a fixed wing and is amazingly stable and very safe when handled well. The first flight will never be forgotten - a breathtaking, joyous experience. You won't stop smiling for days! The view from the open M16 is unsurpassable and you are right in nature - you can even smell the crops and bonfires. Steve will let you fly it (actually it pretty much flies itself!). In terms of bangs for bucks it cannot be beaten (and as this was a present from my aircraft-phobic wife I was most grateful for her bucks and she was happy that the bangs were metaphorical!) I'll certainly be back for more when I get the time.
