Very kind and informative. I took a flying lesson taster and got a decent period on the controls, enough to get a measure of flying. Couldn't ask for more, thanks Phil,!

My mum requested a flight to celebrate her 93rd birthday. I travelled with her. The experience for both of us was incredible. From the time I made the first enquiry to the flight itself, everything was brilliant.
The flight was incredibly smooth, and Gerald took us to places we wanted to see. He was very informative, as well as amusing!! I was able to take some amazing photos, which I plan to put into an heirloom book for Mum's Christmas present.
Thank you so much to Sarah and Gerald and the team at Thurston Helicopters Ltd.
I totally recommend anyone taking a flight.

I signed up for a trial helicopter flying lesson and I cannot recommend it enough! Instructor Phil was so professional, exactly the instructor you need if you want to learn and not be put off: calm, welcoming and reassuring. I felt comfortable the minute we took off and fear dissappeared. One should try it to understand it.
I cannot thank Phil enough, as this lesson has left me inspired, happy and willing to return to learn more. The perspective I gained during my flight time was rewarding, and it was enough to know that I want more of this skill. It quite frankly exceeded my expectations.
Ps. This flight time counts towards your PPL should you decided to go for it.
I'd also like to thank Gerald and Sarah for a warm welcome and instructions from booking the date to arriving at the Aerodrome. I am very happy I chose this exact place to do my first ever experience in a helicopter. Thank you a million and see you soon!

I booked a 1hr helicopter flight for me and my wife were 72 years old and don't like heights but we thought if we don't do it now we never will. So our pilot for the flight was a very nice gentleman called Gerald my wife as dizzy spells and I told Gerald before we booked and he said it was smooth trip so we went Gerald's kindness and patience he showed my wife as she is under 5ft tall and she took awhile to get into the helicopter .anyway we took of and we went to the white cliffs of Dover past the channel tunnel entrance past Dover docks and Leeds Castle and Gerald's comentry over the radio was exceptional and the whole experience was the best thing we've ever done so much so we have already agreed we will be going with Gerald again next year for our 50th wedding anniversary so I would like to say a great thank you to gerald for the great experience and his kindness and patience he showed during our exceptional so 10/10 and as I said we will definitely be seeing you next year for our 50th

Had a fantastic flight with
Captain Gerald along with my two grand children Alfie & Maddison. Very professional operation, good commentary throughout the 40 minute flight. Good value for money.

We had a 15 minute pleasure flight because our son has done so well at school, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I could not recommend this company more highly. Thank you Gerald, we will be back.
