never been in one before, but i dont think it would be your cup of tea Wardy, i hear they bounce most the way if theres a tiny bit of turbulance,  not quite your jet liner.

My darling Ava had his pilots licence before his driving licence!  He loved it with a passion.  Sure you will also.

Adam, I hope you have had a wonderful time.

I have just been looking up Tiger Moth flights as my OH wants one for his birthday, they all seem to be the same price so I don't know which to choose, I suppose just the nicest place to fly over near home - Oxfordshire I think, possibly Dorset.  Anybody done this?
