Wow
I can honestly say that for a few minutes whilst the Lancaster was taxiing and with my eyes turned to the inside I was 20,000ft….. it was 1944 ….. and I was flying on a mission over Germany! I doubt whether there is anywhere else in the world that could have provided that feeling.
Fantastic day
I would like to say what an absolutely fantastic day I had today at the osquito Experience. The whole day was marvellous…..the lunch and afternoon tea were just the job. Congratulations on your continued high standards of display and delivery
I had a vague idea of what flying in wartime must have been like, based on accounts in books, but to experience for myself the cramped conditions filled me with even more respect for the brave lads who went out night after night.
So interesting
Being able to hear about the hard work Tony put into the aircraft’s restoration was a nice finish to the day!
Mosquito Experience day
I spent another brilliant day at East Kirkby this time in the company of the Mosquito. It was another day to remember, everyone that I met, from the guides to catering did everything to make the day memorable for us
Wonderful tour
Today my husband and I were lucky enough to “climb into” your magnificent Lancaster, Just Jane and enjoy a wonderful hour and a half hearing all about this incredible aircraft. Your tour guide “Tim” was informative, personable and did a first rate job. We both felt quite emotional thinking of all those brave crew (and ground crew) who clearly went above and beyond. We have visited many times and will no doubt continue to do so but just wanted to thank everyone associated with this exciting aeroplane.
