team tractor Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Just before Christmas I asked about a flying lesson for my mrs for a present. I hadn't a clue where to luck but a few of you told me of a local (15 miles away) air field. Well today she finally used the voucher . Cheers yet again pw One happy woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworth... hell yeah it's obvious with the snowdome and castle but she also went over my shooting ground . She struggled with our house tho. I said to her at £70 she could go 2/3 times a year really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Prawn Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Now you can start flying hunting! Vertical stalking!

Cranfield Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 That must have been a great experience and a novel present. The £30 for a CD may seem steep, but probably worth it, the £70 for the lesson though does seem cheap, I am surprised you got one for less than £100. I wouldn't let her have too many more lessons, you know what women are like, next thing she will want is a plane...........and not a little one.

It's right next to St George's Park football centre, so they get a bit of the celebrity dust for using it. And no doubt the Queen landed there last week (25th) whilst popping in for a cup of tea. It's actually on Duchy of Lancasters estate. (She visited Eland Lodge equestrian centre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll have to do with the fiesta I bought her I know she's excited about going up again. I said 2-3 times a year I'll treat her as I spend that shooting anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
