Hi John. Again I would like to thank you for an absolutely wonderful flight this morning. I didn't think that you would be able to better the flight I had last year, but you certainly managed it. That take-off site at Longmarsh is superb. To slowly rise and fly along the river like we did was just spectacular. The weather could not have been better, and the company was excellent. We will certainly be booking again soon.

Once again, thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

All the best,
Martin Clements

5 June 2009.South East Devon. Killerton House - Thoverton. 19:45 - 20:50. Duration 1h05'

John, The memories of the fun of getting the balloon ready for the trip, the excitement of those moments before take-off and then the serenity of floating across the countryside was a wedding present we will always treasure - and then of course there was the seemingly obligatory grumpy farmer to end the day.

Damn sure the final decent through the trees into the field owed as much to luck as to your skill as a pilot - however the way you and  
Alan looked after us was simply wonderful. Again than you very much.

Lesley's brother is getting married next year, and we're thinking of suggesting to the rest of her family that they repeat my families gesture and book a flight in Spring 10.

Best wishes... happy landings.
Tim Brown.

With all good wishes Alan and Jackie
PS, See you managed the early morning flight the next day and looked pretty fresh in the photo considering - fresher than we did by the time we got home the night before!

Dear John,

Many thanks for taking me last night.  Great fun, well managed and I now
have a much better idea of the problems with ballooning.

Do you go down to turn left or is it the other way?

Best wishes,

Michael C.

Hi John,
Just a quick note to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of going up in your balloon on Sunday. Obviously the conditions were superb, but this was surpassed by your friendly attitude willingness to answer everybody’s questioning, and handle the requirements of piloting. Having to wait a short while for transport afterwards was all part of the evening. I will certainly have no hesitation about flying with you again and will heartily recommend you to friends.
Thank you again,
John Veale
