Well worth it, TC. We were looking to go back then to do one of the modules, If not this year, will do it next year. Going to do the "take control" module, where i would get to do some of the manoeuvres, looping, barrel rolls etc.

I have a rake more photos of the day, i'll pop a couple more up

Showed the website to the Mrs and she said "you've spoiled your birthday surprise"! :o

They've (so far unsuccessfully) been trying to find something like this for my 60th next year as they know it is something I've always fancied doing.

My father was a test pilot for Hunting Engineering and he was the test pilot for the plane that became the Jet Provost, flying it at Farnborough and demonstrating it around the world. Sadly, he retired flying before I was born so I have never been able to experience the joys of acrobatic flight. Until now. :D

You will love it. its a great day, and everyone does there best to ensure you get the most out of the day.
Once done, you become a member of the Blades Flight Club, so can go back as i mentioned above to do even more.
Less money too :)

After show group photo with all 4 of the pilots. Kirsty Murphy is to date the only female pilot to have flown with the Red Arrows. She, as all were, brilliant on the day.

Wow. I just couldn't do that. I take my hat off to you.

I love all things aeronautical, but since I nearly hit a Glider while having a flying lesson, my nerve has sort of gone.

Looks a great day though mate.
