Truly amazing experiance. The team kept me in the loop from booking to engine off. Original booking postponed (poor weather)but no problem re scheduling. I was met at the door by the pilot for the day(Peter?)A more welcoming enthusiastic chap you will never find. It's hard to find the words to describe the flight. The controls were explained as soon as we left the ground and encouraged to follow the required movements for turns climbs etc. Then the "enemy "appears and we do a steep turn and dive. Pilot asked then how you are. OK, next minute we are doing victory rolls and loops. I couldn't stop the smiles or the giggles. Whe the enemy has been vanquished its your turn to fly back to base. Excellent instructions enabling you to do small, then steeper turns. Controls however are given back to land. I was the last to fly on the day, and was able to give a hand cleaning and putting the wabbit to bed. I would like to say it's an affordable experiance of a life time, but could be habit forming.

I had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the Battle of Britain Experience. The pilot was very friendly and informative. The acrobatics were brilliant and I loved taking control of this wonderful, responsive airplane. I would thoroughly recommend

Absolutely the best day ever staff amazing flight was amazing if your thinking of doing it just book it you won’t regret it I had an amazing day thank you to Andy and the team

An incredible and unforgettable experience… I did the Battle of Britain aerobatic flight with Dan - he went out of his way to give me and my family a fantastic morning and answer my endless questions! It’s worth asking for the cockpit video, as it’s high quality and has the audio recorded. Conington airfield itself is also worth visiting for its USAAF 8th Air Force history and cafe. Many thanks again to Dan, Donny, Andy, Matthew and everyone else at Team Wabbit for my welcoming experience and for keeping this living piece of history alive!

Battle of Britain experience Well worth the drive down from Lanchashire to Peterborough for this flight. Called off the first 2 attempts due to inclement weather, but this can't be helped as safety must come first, the T6 team were very amenable working with me to book in alternative dates and times. I was also given a very extensive walk around and talk about the Wacky Wabbit by the pilot as to not have wasted the trip. 3rd time was the charm and the experience was absolutely superb. The pilots and ground crew are all very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The Wabbit is a phenomenal aircraft - just sitting in the cockpit as the engine fires up was fun enough, the flight itself was superb. Aerobatics and the chance to control the plane, with amazing views. Highly recommend to any warbird enthusiasts

Absolutely amazing experience. Been in the wacky wabbit 7 times so far and the number will continue to grow. Amazing pilots and ground crew. Can’t recommend this company enough. You won’t be disappointed.

Well I have now flown my second experience in the WACKY WABBIT this time flying the Dam Busters training route which was undertaken by 617 Sqn. The pilot Dave Petters gave me the ultimate history lesson flying over several WW2 airfields before going over RAF Scampton before flying the actual route undertaken by the brave flyers. The route went over Sheffield up to Ladybower and the Derwent dams. Several runs were then flown over the dams. Flying at 500 feet gives you a real idea of what was undertaken in the Lancasters. This was a real visceral experience. I am in awe of those aviators who undertook this for real. To gain the insight by flying it in the Wabbit is something I will never forget. Two hours of flying with the knowledgeable Dave Petters was worth every single penny. We did fly over the new Lancaster memorial at Norton Disney on the return which was a bonus. Being given the opportunity to fly the plane myself was also included. A five star experience. The operators of this T6 Harvard have the attitude yes we can do it so just ask if you have something you would like to do. Wacky Wabbit Experience of a lifetime. This was quite simply an amazing experience. I had spent sometime researching the various experiences available and eventually found the harvard flight in Wacky Wabbit that I wanted. I was met at Peterborough Conington airfield by the owner of the plane who was extremely friendly and showed me around the aircraft explaining the history of the Harvard. The pilot joined us and I chose a rough route to be flown during the 1 hour flight. Before I knew it I was strapped in and we were off down the same runway used by the B17 bombers so many years before. Having been on my bucket list for a few years I was there experiencing it for real. We flew out over Peterborough Wisbech with WW2 airfields beneath us and then over the beautiful Norfolk countryside eventually reaching the Wash. For once the sea was blue and sparkling and we flew rather low at this stage surprising a few seals but it gave you a sense of how hard the lives of the pilots who flew these aircraft was. I had the opportunity to fly the plane myself before relinquishing control and experienced the plane performing aerobatics which was on another level. The whole experience of the smell, the vibration, the sound was to a certain degree incredible couple that with the aircraft doing a loop and a barrel roll followed by a victory roll was the icing on the cake. The hour was over and we returned to base but the whole experience will last a lifetime. I would like to thank the entire team at T6 harvard for all the hard work that it must take to keep a vintage aircraft flying and to then allow us to fly with them.

All I can is just wow, what an incredible flying experience I had yesterday in the Wacky Wabbit. A day to remember forever, from start to finish the staff, ground crew and pilots were so friendly and welcoming, explained everything in detail and made the experience so good that words don't do it justice. If you are in to planes then this experience is a must. Flying aerobatic manoeuvres was unbelievable and really brought it home what our brave pilots have been through in the past, very sobering indeed. Thanks to the Wacky Wabbit team and keep up the incredible work you do to keep this plane flying for all to enjoy.

I bought my husband a trip on the Harvard for his birthday. His flight was from connington near Peterborough. The staff were friendly and informative and took time to talk to me and my daughter. The pilot was also brilliant and made it a very special experience
