T6 harvard Ltd Opiniones 

My wife bought me this experience, the Battle of Britain Simulation flight, for my birthday and from the moment I found out what I would be flying in I was over the moon.

We arrived nice and early but unfortunately the low cloud base at Fowlmere had us grounded for a few hours. Adam, Dave, and Kev were as accommodating and apologetic as it was possible to be, keen to keep me at the top of the roster where I'd originally booked. We chatted all things aviation while we waited for the clouds to part and I could tell I would be in safe hands. The guys were more than happy for me to photograph the aircraft from every possible angle, and went into great detail explaining the devices and instrumentation.

The clouds parted just after lunch and I got the thumbs up. I climbed into the cockpit as Dave ran the warm-up routines, explaining what he was doing the whole time. I had a headset and microphone so could hear him clearly over the Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine as it roared into life.

We took off over the fields of Buckinghamshire, Dave explained the scenario we would be simulating and how important the plane and the base were during the war effort. Dave handed me control of the plane and had me do some basic pitching and rolling, before taking it back and showing me just how nimble this vehicle was. We pulled over 3g in some of the maneuvers, including barrel rolls and loops. All the whlle Dave was narrating a scene from one of the many combat sorties the pilots flew during the war.

At one point while I had control the cloud base seemed to drop suddenly, leaving me with no visibility; Dave quickly took control and got us back to safety.

This was a truly thrilling experience, especially for an aviation enthusiast. The whole set up was so efficient and welcoming and I would recommend this activity to anyone.

As a air-to-air photographer, planning and executing an air to air shoot can be quite difficult. But let me tell you this: at no moment did I fear the shooting was not going to happen. We had multiple plans and guess what? Everything turned out perfectly! Of course it is very weather dependent, like with all vintage aircraft but everything was literally perfect.

Piloting the Harvard we have James Hepnar, a talented Pilot and a certified "Wabbit" who managed to hold the formation just perfectly. The Communication and organizing with the ground crew was also flawless. I wouldn't change a thing no doubt.

But even if you want to book a flight in it: its 100% worth it. If you get the chance to do aeros or the battle of britain experience - go for it.

I bought the Battle of Britain experience for my partner as a Christmas present. He is a trained pilot but hasn’t flown for a few years. A fight on the T6 at Shuttleworth Airshow made it the perfect treat. We were greeted with a warm welcome and clear expectations of what to expect. The smile on Richard’s face when he landed said it all. James did a great job in tailoring the experience based on Richard’s experience and was reassuring and entertaining throughout the flight. A shout out to the ground crew too who took me under their wing and looked after me whilst my partner was in the air. Would recommend to anyone with a passion for flight/planes and let’s help keep these lovely old planes flying.

The pilot and ground crew were really friendly and helpful. The Texan is easy to get in and comfortable. Loved the flight, James the pilot inspired confidence. We did some exciting manoeuvres, including rolls, and I was given control of the stick for some basic flying ,..which I guess counts as my first flying lesson. All in a 20 minute flight! I will be back! Highly recommended!

Totally amazing experience! I had my flight today with James and I'm will never forget it! It's great that I was able to control the plane several times during my flight! Very professional and friendly crew, you can feel that they are passionate about this aircraft and it's worth every penny to help them keep it in the air! I highly recommend it, you will never regret it. Thank you guys for keeping this aircraft alive, you are doing amazing job!!!

Absolutely a truly amazing experience. Worth every penny. The crew were just fabulous.. friendly enthusiastic and a pleasure to meet. If you want something memorable... book a flight in Wacky Wabbit T6 Harvard . EPIC !!!!!! We had pilot James Hepnar... he was totally professional and made the experience even better. A++++++++ from Acelin (Ace)

I've flown a lot in the past, but not had an experience like the one in the T-6 before. Such an amazing piece of engineering. The flight was great, I opted for the aerobatics bolt on. James, the pilot, had great knowledge of the aircraft and the maneuvers the aircraft would have performed during WW2. Brilliant flight and communication from James made the flight even more enjoyable. Thank you!

Great fun, great team, great experience. Thank you Dominic, Adam and James!

If I could put more stars I would!!! Everyone at Fowlmere was so nice and went the extra mile. I was so sceard of flying but they all put my mind at rest. James my pilot was amazing he spoke to me the entire flight and made me feel at ease and I couldn't bring myself to do the rolls and he fully understood and made my flight amazing. Yes there was a lot of waiting around due to the rain but thay was amazing and stayed chatting with us. I highly recommend with all my heart. Sending love to them all thank you soo much

I have to write to say what a great experience this was for my dad. As a milestone birthday for him we decided to book the Battle of Britain experience. Adam Lacey our pilot with total professionalism and a really lovely friendly guy to boot, took him through his mission and he took controls and really enjoyed the whole experience so much. It’s hard to put into words when you see an old grump become a ten year old boy…… The aircraft, the photo opportunities and the HD footage available was amazing. And a shout out to Kevin for his accommodating knowledge of the nuts and bolts behind it all while we were waiting for him. Whole heartedly recommend. Very personal experience to the point we’re you feel like your meeting up with old mates.

Battle of Britain Experience Harvard Flight

Quite simply one of the best experiences I've had in my '## something' years !! I have studied the Battle of Britain period throughout my adult life and read copious amounts of books and documents and watched many films and documentaries, but taking to the skies from a Battle of Britain airfield in a Harvard and having a detailed commentary from my pilot ( the amazing D-J ) and actually feeling the g-forces from the same evasive manoeuvres experienced by those few was a whole new world of appreciation. However, history geek aside, as someone that just loves flying, this was simply the best. I haven't stopped smiling since getting airborne. I only wished it had lasted longer and I will definitely be booking again. Everyone from the team was fantastic, and it felt more like a day out with friends. If you love aviation, if you are interested in history or if you simply want to remind yourself what fun is, this is for you. Thank you to all of the team and especially the star - Wacky Wabbit

An asolutely brilliant experience and I couldn't recommend it enough! The whole team were friendly and happy to answer any questions, my pilot James Hepnar was absolutely fantastic. He talked me through the aircraft before getting in and explained everything in the cockpit to me when I was inside. The flight was exactly what you'd expect a warbird to be, addictive and fun! We did a mock dog fight and he showed me what the T6 can really do - if you're thinking about doing it then just go for it, you'll never regret it.

I had surprise present of a 25 minute flight with David recently, and it was nothing short of incredible. The aerobatics we performed were extremely fun, and to be able to do these loops over my house was an added bonus! Learning of all the people that saw the little airshow we put on over Upwell and Gorfield was an extra thrill after the flight which i would most definitely do again and highly recommend. David's knowledge of the Harvard's history as we taxied across Fenland's airfield was amazing and really set you back in time when you took off and began the manoeuvres.

As someone who wishes to become a pilot in the future, this experience was a perfect way to make me realise that flying is definitely for me, and that one day i hope to take 'The Wacky Wabbit' into the skies myself!

Had a day out at fenland today, we arrived to find the wacky wabbit was there normally seen at Duxford, David was there with his team allowing people an experience flight in a proper warbird the Harvard.
I was all over it like a rash, and awaited my turn.
And what an experience, David talks you through what it was like to be a young pilot during the war, he prepares you for what they would have experienced, and then he takes you up, constantly explaining what was happening, the enemy were everywhere, and we had to avoid their attack, rolling , looping , barrel rolling, it was outstanding, he even let me fly it, yes I flew a Harvard.
I also received a video of the dog fight, which shows exactly what we did.
I can not recommend this enough, they have a variety of experiences to choose from, they also do experience flights in a chipmunk.
Can’t wait to go back, it was a true adrenaline rush.
Thanks David 👍

What can I say, what an experience. From the knowledged ground crew to the expertise of the pilot what a fantastic and unique opportunity to take flight in this old war bird. Got the experience booked for my son who wants to become an airline pilot, the look on his face when he came back from his flight was priceless can't thank the team enough for their time and experience. Really well put together experience and well worth the money. We will be booking another experience in the Wabbit in the near future. Thanks again The Wabbit Team brilliant day 😁

The Battle of Britain Fighter Mission in the Wacky Wabbit was the perfect 30th birthday present! Everyone on the ground was friendly, especially Donny. David was a fantastic pilot and the whole experience was really immersive, from planning our route to the simulated dogfight over the coast. The manoeuvres and the G force were amazing and we even got to fly over a steam train which was the icing on the cake. I bought the in-flight film which captured the event perfectly. An experience I'll never forget. Don't hesitate to book this!

Had a great flight with Dave today, very safe, clear instructions and an overall fantastic experience, I would highly recommend

Taking part in the Harvard flying experience is something I wish I had done earlier. David did an incredible job of talking me through the experience and showcasing the maneuvers the aircraft can perform. Since I was a young lad watching spitfires and other warbirds at airshows, I dreamed of being able to experience rolls, loops, wingovers and split S's. Fast forward to July 2022 and David not only made that dream a reality, he went above and beyond! I didn't think my smile could have gotten any bigger, then he asked if I was ready to take control of the aircraft! Watching back the cockpit footage, even now, 2 months later, I genuinely dont think I will ever stop smiling like I did that day and I am still on a high from the whole experience!

As we did the maneuvers, he also explained the scenario a battle of britain pilot may use them in and their tactical significance. It really made me appreciate what a Battle of Britain would have gone through on a daily basis!

Taking off from Peterborough Connington airfield and watching the Cambridgeshire countryside roll out beneath us, David used the time to talk me through the controls of the aircraft and a brief history of the aircraft and airfield. This really enhanced the experience and his knowledge showed his real passion for aviation and the warbird scene.

After a relaxing flight to altitude, David flew us through the maneuvers and I littlerally got to see the Cambridgeshire countryside from a new perspective!

I fully recommend this experience for anyone who is an aviation enthusiast! It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity and allows you to connect with history in a truly unique way!

Thank you David and the whole Wacky Wabbit Team!

Absolutely fantastic experience!
Highly recommended.
I've wanted to do this my whole life and was lucky enough to get the chance.
David was very knowledgeable and made it look so easy, a joy to fly with.

Im a big aviation and history buff so the T6 experience was right up my alley. It's a super affordable warbird experience and will not disappoint. Having previously flown in a Tiger Moth this was a logical step up in my aviation experiences. Adam, Andy and Kevin were super nice and clearly loved what they do. They imparted their knowledge and answered all my annoying questions. Lots of info over the headset as we taxied and got airborne. I was allowed to take the controls and get a feel for the aircraft turning and leveling out. Then Adam took back the controls and demonstrated some evasive maneuvers, pulling upward of 3G's. Its all for the senses flying in a machine such as the Harvard. I'll be back for the Battle of Britain experience soon!
