T6 harvard Ltd Avis 

I completed the Battle of Britain experience in the Harvard T6 “Wacky Wabbit” on Saturday 25 June, at the lovely Fenland airfield. My pilot was David Petters who was very informative and kept the WW2 commentary going throughout the flight. The Harvard is an amazing trainer aircraft and Dave’s skilful flying and knowledge made the whole flight very enjoyable. If you are going to take a trip in the Harvard, this experience is highly recommended.

This was a truly amazing experience on many levels. Sitting in the magnificent aircraft and absorbing the noise, the smells the vibrations before the excitement of taking to the air and trying to imagine what it would be like to do this in an under enemy fire situation is something you just cannot comprehend by looking at a plane in a museum and reading someone else’s words. Being gifted the luxury of attempting to make the aircraft turn whilst your pilot takes care of all the other controls and contemplating how long it would take you to achieve this on your own and how little time the war pilots had to master much more complicated manoeuvres is staggering. Then getting to feel the loop, the Cuban, the barrel roll safe in the knowledge that your expert pilot is not feeling the disorientation that you are, is breath-taking.
Be the best is an apt slogan for pilot James who, aside from obviously being a hugely competent pilot, had a genuine passion for the aircraft, admiration for previous pilots and clearly would do everything in his power to deliver customers the best day.
Cannot think of any recommendation for improvement on the entire experience. The booking was easy, Andrew provided excellent information on where to go and what to expect. Donny took great care of us on the ground and again had a wonderful enthusiasm.
Thank you so much.

I had a flight in Wacky Wabbit on Saturday and what can I say? It was simply amazing. Everyone involved went above and beyond with their level of professionalism and enthusiasm. I simply cannot recommend them enough and if you're considering a flight then all I can say is go for it, you certainly won't be disappointed and like me, you'll still be grinning from ear to ear days later.

What a day we have just had. The passion of the pilots and all involved really shines through. Not once did we feel rushed and everyone was so friendly. I flew with Dave and my dad flew with James and both were incredible pilots with great skill and knowledge making you feel at ease the whole time (even when upside down). Donny who assisted us on the ground and with pictures was so knowledgeable and welcomed us with such a warm welcome making us feel part of the team instead of one off visitors. The level of work they put in to keep this bird flying really shows. Would highly recommend this to everyone. So much more than just an experience but more like a life event. One dream of mine now ticked off the list that we will never forget.

Firstly I would of given this experience 10 stars if I could, from start to finish the Wacky Wabbit team were awesome! James, Donny and David were so professional, friendly and funny, they could of done no more! This was so good, my son paid to do it straight after me and the team managed to fit him in as well! Don’t take my word for how good this is, give it a go, you’ll thank me later 😉

What a day, what an experience! If you're wondering what to get a loved one for a special occasion then wonder no more. We got this for my Father in Laws 60th and just as luck had it, a cancellation meant my husband was also able to go up for his birthday treat too!

The team are absolutely wonderful. James, Dave and Donny are on point for top quality banter, but not only that they made the day even more special by being so wonderful!

This was a really brilliant experience. The whole team were so friendly and welcoming that it felt like a trip out with old friends. I had a 20 minute flight out of Old Warden and the pilot James was really good at sharing his enthusiasm for flying the Harvard and explaining what he was doing. The flight itself was something I'll be re-playing for a long time and the on-flight video is brilliant. It's genuinely amazing to be able to fly in old planes like these so thanks to the team for an incredible experience. I suspect I'll be back at some point in the future for another flight!

Adam, the pilot made this an unforgettable experience with his extensive knowledge. Had a good time. Brilliant Aerodynamics and going upside down, what a feeling

When arriving at the airfield we were greeted by the staff who took our details and advised us of times of flights, local weather conditions and the pilots who were flying on the day, all were very friendly and informative. We had a cup of tea and looked around the outside waiting area, admiring the mural painted on the hangar, depicting a Boeing B 17 with flight crews. We were kept informed about flight times and any delay due to weather, there was a good deal of activity on the apron with light aircraft movements. When it was our turn to fly we were given a briefing and shown out to the aircraft, this was ideal as there was plenty of time to photograph each other during the boarding, strapping in, taxying and take off, great views available. On my flight I was introduced to the pilot, then boarded, strapped in and intercom checked for level, Adam, the pilot was very good, asking me about previous flying experience and running through what to expect, his commentary during the flight was really good calling out speed, altitude and landmarks. Once up to cruise altitude I was given the opportunity to take control, the aircraft is very light and responsive, with Adam giving direction it was a very enjoyable experience, he then asked if I would like to see what the aircraft was capable of, saying we could go upside down, fantastic. He then built up speed and pulled the aircraft into a steep climb followed by an aileron roll, this was repeated in several directions, brilliant! Then we headed back to the airfield for a very smooth landing. What a great experience, i think I was even smiling in my sleep. This is the best flight I have ever had, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure they will always remember.

I had a fab flight in Wacky Wabbit on Sat 30th April from Connington, on a beautiful clear sunny day - it was a present from friends and family to celebrate a "big birthday"!
The airfield location was great for me, as the trip down (from Edinburgh to Peterborough by train, followed by a pleasant cycle to Connington), was all part of the fun.
I'd been for flights before in 3 glider types, a Tiger Moth, and a Stearman before - all of which I've loved... But I have to say a flight in a Harvard was by far the most exciting - especially the aerobatic moves! My smile lasted for ages afterwards!
I'd really love to go back to try the B of B Experience flight sometime soon!

I should also say that the whole process - from booking on line, after-sales support, information emails and then the friendly team on the day, was superb.
Big thanks to Andy, W.W. , Dave my pilot, plus all the team, for an amazing experience! :-)

My son and I recently took flights in Wacky Wabbit at Peterborough Connington. I was keen to see what I can remember from a small amount of flying about 60 years ago and to learn something about my fathers wartime experiences learning to fly on Harvards. Angus was keen on a more robust experience with G Forces. Neither were disappointed and we were both still smiling all the way back to Scotland. All the crew were aircraft enthusiasts with experienced pilots and their enthusiasm for aviation was catching. Altogether a memorable experience to celebrate my 75th birthday. I need to keep myself fit for the next significant date.

I did the Battle of Britain experience on the 7th of May 2022 at Conington airfield in Cambridgeshire and would strongly recommend it to anyone.
The pilots and ground crew are very friendly which makes the whole day a very special occasion.
The memories of this will stay with me forever.

What can I say I've still got a massive grin on my face twenty four hours later. A fantastic experience for all aviation enthusiasts, run by friendly ground staff and pilots a memorable day.

Second best birthday present ever ( my puppy senna no1) I went up and had a battle of Britain simulation flight. Power, performance and provenance. An unforgettable experience, the smells, the sights and the g's, it brought a real tear to my eye getting a glimpse into the eye of a ww2 fighter pilot, those young men really were HEROS and we owe everything to them and all other veterans, I've always respected and honour this but today I truly has a taste of it, obviously we didn't have any me109's on our tale but a couple of cesnas got the scare of their lives! ....... it was a surprise gift and what a surprise. From the knowledgeable and friendly ground crew to the talented pilot thank you for an unforgettable experience. IF YOU'RE THINKING OF BOOKING , DONT BOTHER THINKING. JUST DO IT. thanks for the ride wabbit

Booked for my partner's 30th birthday and from the moment we arrived to the minute we left we felt so welcomed! It's a real joy being surrounded by people who have such a strong passion for flying and it was incredible to get to be apart of it for a morning! Thank you so much H absolutely loved it so did Alaska maybe she will get her wings when she grows up!

I recently flew before the air show at Shuttleworth. Staff kept me well informed of when the flight would be ready and gave good assistance on how to enter the cockpit, as it was quite a climb up.

I had a good briefing from the pilot (sorry, I cannot remember his name), and really enjoyed the flight.
Instruction was very hands on. I could feel how responsive the aircraft was and could sense that I was really flying it. the pilot also did a left roll and then a right roll, which was very exhilarating.

Great experience. I would recommend it to anyone interested in classic aircraft and flying.

Flew in the Wacky Wabbit at the Shuttleworth Airshow at Old Warden.Very helpful ground staff and my pilot Adam was first class.Thoroughly recommend these guys if you are wanting to fly the Harvard.

Very quick service. Friendly people, no matter who you talk to. Did 20min with aeros and even took control. Lovely airplane.

This flight was an eightieth birthday present from my family. It was originally booked for October 21 at Shuttleworth bur the weather that day meant that there was absolutely no flying possible. So my trip was re-scheduled for May 1st this year with no problem. On arrival my family and I were all greeted to an extremely friendly welcome and explanation of the arrangements. As my knees are not in very good order I was rather apprehensive about getting into the plane, but nothing was too much trouble for the ground crew and I was quite easily ensconced into the rear seat. The flight was absolutely awesome. I was offered control of the plane but declined as I wanted to concentrate more on the technical aspect. Andy, my pilot, performed a couple of rolls and some wingovers with which I was absolutely delighted - not a hint of nausea! On return to ground level I did need a little assistance to climb out but this was given freely and willingly. On top of everything I now have a video recording of the whole flight. Well done indeed T6 Harvard, an outstanding flight which I shall always treasure. Thank you.

You bump into someone in the pub and the next thing you know you’re up in the air, circling the village and tipping the wing to your house. Loved every minute of it and may be brave enough for a roll next time. Many thanks, Andy! Lee
