Reviews of T6 Harvard Ltd
D.It’s a very special thing to be able to get airborne in one of these old WWII era aircraft and the flying, including some breathtaking aerobatics, was superb and incredible fun. Very nice team who are passionate about keeping this old girl flying and quite right too!. What they don’t know about this aircraft isn’t worth knowing and for the enthusiast it is fascinating. Highly recommended, just wait till you are sat in that cockpit! 💪🏻
A. J.Battle of Britain Experience - highly recommended. A Fantastic exhilarating day and flight with the Wacky Wabbit team on April 9th. Professional, informal and friendly - a perfect combination. Conington airfield is also a great and welcoming location to fly from. My pilot, David Petters, was excellent and very reassuring as he demonstrated the key Battle of Britain manoeuvres. The cockpit video is also a brilliant memento, A wide grin and a big thumbs up from me for the whole team.
I. S.Brilliant day, pilot, James talked me through the flight before take off then did aerobatic flight over the wash. Got to take controls for couple of manoeuvres. Ground crew good, friendly and informative. Would thoroughly recommend you get the battle of Britain flight. Enjoyed it so much got my daughter a flight.
R. F.Fantastic day from start to finish. Fighter mission sortie with Pilot Dave Petters was a truly great experience from the mission briefing through to the flight itself. The Pilots support staff and people running the flight operations at Conington airfield could not have been more welcoming and friendly towards us, all great to talk to and be in their company for the few hours we were there. The T6 is a wonderful aircraft and I will definitely be heading south for another visit and flight at some time in the future. 🙂
K. S.This was a truly amazing experience on many levels. Sitting in the magnificent aircraft and absorbing the noise, the smells the vibrations before the excitement of taking to the air and trying to imagine what it would be like to do this in an under enemy fire situation is something you just cannot comprehend by looking at a plane in a museum and reading someone else’s words. Being gifted the luxury of attempting to make the aircraft turn whilst your pilot takes care of all the other controls and contemplating how long it would take you to achieve this on your own and how little time the war pilots had to master much more complicated manoeuvres is staggering. Then getting to feel the loop, the Cuban, the barrel roll safe in the knowledge that your expert pilot is not feeling the disorientation that you are, is breath-taking.
Be the best is an apt slogan for pilot James who, aside from obviously being a hugely competent pilot, had a genuine passion for the aircraft, admiration for previous pilots and clearly would do everything in his power to deliver customers the best day.
Cannot think of any recommendation for improvement on the entire experience. The booking was easy, Andrew provided excellent information on where to go and what to expect. Donny took great care of us on the ground and again had a wonderful enthusiasm.
Thank you so much.
S. S.I was given a flight for a Birthday present, could not believe that I had the chance to go flying in a Harvard I even got to use the controls. The take off and landing was just perfect, smiling from start to finish. I. Would recommend this to anyone. What History in that aircraft.Everyone should have a go.
M. W.Im a big aviation and history buff so the T6 experience was right up my alley. It's a super affordable warbird experience and will not disappoint. Having previously flown in a Tiger Moth this was a logical step up in my aviation experiences. Adam, Andy and Kevin were super nice and clearly loved what they do. They imparted their knowledge and answered all my annoying questions. Lots of info over the headset as we taxied and got airborne. I was allowed to take the controls and get a feel for the aircraft turning and leveling out. Then Adam took back the controls and demonstrated some evasive maneuvers, pulling upward of 3G's. Its all for the senses flying in a machine such as the Harvard. I'll be back for the Battle of Britain experience soon!
F. C.What an amazing experience!
Great pre flight communication from Dominic my pilot.
Having some tailwheel experience on Super Cub & Chipmunk I have been looking forward to flying Wacky Wabbit for some time.
Dom took the time to explain what to expect during our flight also pointing out some of the differences between the Harvard & the Chipmunk, his knowledge and enthusiasm was contagious.
Following a brief, Tim strapped me in and made sure I was all set.
Once airborne I got some hands on flight time with Dom giving clear explanations & instructions…Awesome!
Thanks T6 Harvard for a great afternoon…I’ll be back.
K. G.The Battle of Britain flight was far more than I expected. Not just a few aerobatics but a running commentary from the pilot (David Petters) for the whole experience. Several scenarios were given where you could be in a vulnerable position for the enemy to engage with you and then performing the manoeuvres to get in to a more favourable position. I would highly recommend this flight to anyone with such intrest. Worth every penny.
The video was a great momento and good quality.
G. M.A Fantastic exhilarating day and flight with the Wacky Wabbit team on April 9th. Professional, informal and friendly - a perfect combination.

A. S.Having attended multiple experience days, I can honestly say this is one of the best yet! I’m an adrenaline junkie and I love fast moving cars so when I chanced upon a T6 flying experience, I went ahead and gave it a try. It was so worth it! I thoroughly enjoyed the 30mins flight. It felt like I was in a Top Gun movie!!! They also have a welcoming & efficient team so that made the experience smooth from start to finish. Thanks to Andrew, Donny, and Tim! Now I get to keep a video of me spinning around in a T6! Once in a lifetime experience!
T. B. B. T.Have always wanted to fly in a Harvard since I was a young child! And my dream came true! Thanks to the crew! Had an amazing flight with aeros to boot and what better than the Wacky Wabbit! You won’t be disappointed! A must do on your bucket list! Had a super day with the team and very well looked after A*
K. S.Fantastic day out and well worth the money. Conington was a great place to visit, we were made very welcome by everyone and flying the fighter mission with Dave Petters was definitely the highlight of my year so far.
Give that T6 a go, I will definitely be having another flight at some stage.
S. M.It was an exhilarating experience. It's surely one for the books! The whole crew from the ground up to the air were so accommodating and friendly. I was nervous at first but the crew and pilots made us feel safe. Thank you to the T6 team! It's really worth it!
C. H.Our family were lucky enough to witness a brilliant Wacky Wabbit display over Duxford recently. Our plane-mad kids watched preparations on the ground for hours during the afternoon and were thrilled with the friendliness of everyone involved. Definite highlight of our weekend!
K. B.I have always enjoyed flying in different aircraft types when finances allow. A Harvard had been on my list for a long while and my chance finally came on 10th October. Although the weather looked very unpromising when I arrived in the morning and led to a bit of a delay, communication from Dominic, my pilot for the day, was excellent throughout so that I was able to amuse myself at Duxford until the time came. The aircraft was beautifully presented inside and out and expertly flown by Dom who was brave enough to allow me to handle the controls. An added bonus was flying from Fowlmere, itself an historic WWII airfield with both RAF and USAAF history. My 20 minute flight was over all too soon, but was a never to be forgotten experience. Much as I love Chipmunks and Tiger Moths, a big radial engine growling away at the front takes some beating!
My thanks must go also to Andrew for the seamless booking process and to Tim for strapping me in and arranging the in-cockpit video.
R. A.I was very nervous about taking on this experience, but oh WOW ! what an experience of a life time. Adam & Donny and all the team at Peterborough made me feel firstly very welcome and secondly guided me through the experience extremely well. Adam was amazing at explaining everything we did whilst in the Harvard T6 and he really made this experience exceptional with his calm explanations and superb flying skills.. Enthusiasts, thrill seekers or just a new experience this really is a very worthwhile 30 mins to appreciate the amazing skill and bravery of Battle of Britain fighter pilots. Thank you Andy and huge thanks Adam - you're a star!
P. S.I was lucky enough to take a flight in the T6 Harvard and all i can say is the staff were absolutely amazing, we went to the wrong airfield by mistake and we called them to say we were late and they said not to rush everything is fine, the flight itself was one of the most amazing things i have ever done 👌👌👌👌. Big thanks to everyone who made the day do amazing and the video that you done during the flight was incredible great quality, would highly recommend this to anyone to put on the bucket list 👍
K. S.Fancy a memorable warbird trip with a professional pilot and have a bundle of fun into the bargain? Then the Wacky Wabbit is for you, folks! A fabulous friendly team in the air and on the ground, this is historic aviation at its best. Many thanks to David, my pilot on the day, and the rest of Team Wabbit at Peterborough Conington airfield to help me remember my Father and his 39 years of RAF engineering service, including the Harvard.
L. E.Absolutely brilliant! Everybody was very friendly and we all had a great time. The video of the flight will be shared with other family members and looked at many times. The whole experience was worth every penny.
g.I received first class training to fly the Harvard with T6 Harvard Ltd.
Progressing from light aircraft to the mighty Harvard is made very achievable by this company’s great instructors and absolutely mint aeroplane.
Wack Wabbit is easily the best example of the type in the U.K.
Highly recommend.
I have been very fortunate to be taken on by T6 Harvard Ltd as an instructor since training. Progression is at the core of this company.
P.Great experience. Andy and the crew are really welcoming. Recommend the battle of Britain experience for a real thrill. Wacky Wabbit is a fantastic plane too.
T. G.Out of this world! This flight was organised for my Grandads 80th Birthday and it couldn’t have been made more perfect by Andy. From the moment we arrived until we left, he made the experience a once in a lifetime event that my Grandad will never forget. I couldn’t recommend Andy and this experience enough, thank you so much.
S. P.My wife booked the wacky Wabbit Battle of Britain extreme fighter package for my 60th birthday, what a great experience it was, David was my pilot/trainer for the 30 minute flight, from just after take off I took the controls taking her up to 4300 ft then banked right to the area where we went through battle manoeuvres, loops, 4.5g turns, half Cubans and split 8's. What a awsome experience, now just imagine being hunted by a ME 109, total respect to all those who fraught and gave their lives for our freedom. I recommend having the twin angle video to look back on. Thanks to all in the organisation, great communication and friendly ground staff.
If you want excitement and an extreme thrill, do this. Worth every bit. Hope to do it again soon.
Thanks all...
A. 1.I completed my conversion onto the Harvard with T6 Ltd and received first class instruction from their hugely experienced and high quality Flight Instructors. A very friendly positive minded team from the ground crew to the pilots that fly the Wacky Wabbit and I can confidently say that you won’t find a more looked after pristine Harvard to fly.
I thoroughly recommend T6 Ltd to anyone wishing to just experience the thrills of flying in a Harvard or those with the desire to learn to fly a true Warbird.
r. g.Absolutely amazing experience. Our pilot was knowledgable and friendly. He took the time to speak to us and made the experience unforgettable
K. H.If your into aviation and fancy some flying.
I can recommend this flying group, very well organised team, helpful, nothing was to much, very knowledgeable pilots and ground crew.
N. A.A great experience on the ground talking with fellow aviation nuts - sorry, enthusiasts! Enjoyable flight with Adam! Thanks Adam.
