Flight in a Harvard for my 50th Birthday
I was given a flight experience in the amazing Harvard Warbird for my 50th Birthday from my wife. I was taken up by the wonderful Andy Cooke who made the experience unforgettable. During the flight I was handed the controls for a few minutes before Andy showed me what it could do - I will never forget this experience and would thoroughly recommend it.
