Fabulous trip- JUST BOOK IT! This trip made my day, week, year.... I've wanted to fly in a gyrocopter since probably seeing Little Nellie in that bond film , You Only Live Twice. I can't recommend Lloyd (the pilot) enough- informative, friendly and chatty. Will be looking to book again soon as well worth the price. This is definitely a bucket list trip. Thanks Lloyd, kindest regards Danny and Lily.

Fabulous experience Absolutely brilliant experience. Bought this as a gift for our Dad's 80th birthday. We had initial contact with Lloyd the pilot when booking and the day before the flight. Lloyd was brilliant and definitely felt we were in safe hands. Dad got a good hour in the sky so great value for money. The airport has a great cafe on site with an outdoor seating area overlooking the runways so fabulous views of dad taking off and landing. Lloyd even sent us some aerial photos of Dad. Brilliant day, thank you Lloyd!

Gyrocopter flight passed the Seven Sisters Very though preflight briefing with emphasis on safety. The flight was well managed and carried out very professionally Visibility was good and landmarks were easy to pick out enhancing the whole experience It was an outstanding experience and I’m booking another flight. What more can I say.

Amazing real flying experience This was an absolutely brilliant experience. Lloyd explained everything very clearly and was happy to fly my preferred route across West Sussex rather than eastward which also allowed my grandchildren to watch me fly past their home! This was my first experience of flying in an open cockpit and allowed for amazing views all around (and down!) Although small, the gyroplane felt very stable in flight, even during the time that Lloyd let me take the controls! I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anybody.

What a great experience! What a great experience. Lloyd was a great host and pilot and really easy to engage with. We had fabulous weather so the views were incredible and so with the relaxed chatter during the flight, the time just flew by, literally. Thank you Lloyd!

Wonderful experience with Gyrocopter.. A big thank you Lloyd for such a memorable day. You made my birthday complete... You were great to help me all the way before the flight to the second I'm on the gyrocropter... Lloyd was amazing, he was thorough, gave me all the answers I needed before hand and on the day...eg, directions, parking, clothes to wear etc. , You can't ask for a better person for this experience and a memorable one... Great job, and if one haven't try it, just pick up the phone to Lloyd and he will put you at ease straight away... A very well done Lloyd... 👏👏👏

A LANDSCAPE OF TALES AND MEMORIES Yesterday I showed my grand-daughter a buzzard slowly ascending on thermals way above our back garden in mid-Sussex. This evening, I took this gyrocopter 1 hour flight above the South Downs and Sussex shoreline - a landscape of so many tales over the last 35 years of my life and all piloted by the very capable and amiable Lloyd. For such a small craft, it's incredibly stable and there was no turbulence nor Rosa Klebb et al trying to shoot us down! My wife, who bought me this experience as a 60th birthday present, asked me afterwards whether I was frightened whilst flying: the honest answer was 'no' as I was too busy focusing on the different view of the landmarks that have featured in my recent life, the people I've met along the way...and just how green the Amex's grass is compared to everywhere else given the current drought! In short, this experience has all the 'wow factor' you could ever need. But like that buzzard, in what I can only describe as a calmly exhilerating way.
