QUOTES

Wanted my husband to have a great time flying a plane for his recent birthday, so I booked him a Tigers & Tracks Action Day at Duxford - an experience that also includes flying a Dragon Rapide by plane and driving a vintage Army tank. He also got full access to museum exhibits, a champagne toast and special lunch laid on at the museum. There is so much packed into this day out that I'm pretty sure Keith will never forget it.
