Attended the 2hr tour/presentation today with my wife. We both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Paul is totally knowledgeable regarding all aspects concerning not only spitfires but many WW2 aircraft, their pros and cons., the people who developed them, the people who flew them, together with many humorous stories to illustrate and enlighten those attending. The project, to assemble a squadron of 90% full size spitfire aircraft, each one to commemorate the sacrifice or dedicated contribution of a selected individual. Unique squadron markings as deemed applicable. Food and drinks were available before and after the tour and were very much appreciated. I totally recommend anybody with an interest in WW2 Spitfire aircraft to attend, and maybe try the simulator for an even more personal experience.
Professional from start to finish. Booking was easy and the communication and information given was comprehensive and extremely useful. Email reminders of the countdown to the event included clear directions, information about the day, catering and facilities available alongside a history of the airfield etc. Photographs to aid finding the airfield were excellent. On arrival we parked outside the clubhouse where there was ample parking spaces, we received a warm welcome and everything was very efficient. Food was available in the form of breakfast rolls, vege options available at reasonable prices alongside hot drinks etc. Lunch was also an option with local pies and vegetables at a good price if you wanted to stay for lunch. There was ample seating within the clubhouse and outside if preferred. The tour lasted 2 1/2 hours and was extremely informative and engaging. The talk was humorous and wonderful to listen to. There were many opportunities to ask questions and look around the many aircraft in the hangar as well as lots of other items of interest. A great day that was well worth the money and I would highly recommend this experience which was delivered by inspirational people who are truly devoted to preserving the history of the Spitfire. Fantastic!
Really informative on the history of the Spitfire, what the plan is for the Squadron, and those it commemorates. Then we got up close and personal with one of the aircraft. Paul was a great speaker, really amusing and the 2 hours passed all too quickly.
In a stunning corner of Oxfordshire lies Enstone airfield. ACESquadron sits within the airfield bounds..Paul and team have developed an amazing objective of building a squadron of Spitfires. Paul gives an outstanding commentary on his aspirations, the team, the technical challenges that is interesting to aviation nerds as well as junior family members. Everyone leaves having added to their technical and historical knowledge. The flying club and its facilities adds to the nostalgia of the day. A wonderful experience, would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Good luck Paul, partner and team. A mountainous challenge but with your enthusiasm and tenacity I am certain the squadron will fly!!
Absolutely amazing day out at ACESquadron. The presentation was fantastic and really informative, making you go away with way more than you knew before. The Spitfire simulator was also really good and was perfectly immersive.
An absolutely superb day out. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and passionate about his subject. Not to be missed if you're a Spitfire fan!
