Summary: This is an excellent Helicopter lesson. It is the first time I have ever been in a helicopter and it is absolutely amazing. I received a first class lesson from a very pleasant pilot who instructed me on all the necessary procedures and information concerning the cockpit controls and instruments. This seems to me to be the only way to get a hands on experience in a helicopter. All the staff were welcoming and had lots of information about everything one might wish to know about helicopters and all of my questions were answered. Comfortable and clean areas to sit in whilst waiting to receive my helicopter trial lesson certificate. Have always wanted to do this after seeing helicopters in my favourite films and TV series ! The helicopter itself is clean and tidy and well presented and was a pleasure to fly in.

Summary: From start to finish the team at EBG Helicopters were fantastic. Every question during the booking process was answered in a helpful manner by Geoff and the pilot Mark covered a professional and knowledgeable breakdown of the details of the helicopter and what happens via the controls during flight. It was a fantastic and fun experience which I would highly recommend to anyone with interest in or flying helicopters. I just wished I could have spent a little longer in the air getting used to the controls before having to land. It felt all too short, but that just proves how much I enjoyed the experience and I will deffinatly look into the details for a full lesson. A little longer would give you 100%. Thank you Gentleman you made my day. Mr P Shackell
