    Have you checked insurance policies? If he has /accidentlife insurance or life assurance that covers mortgage/loans etc be aware that most policies do not cover these things.

  • Hi again Lou

    I just checked the arrows experience website http://www.arrowsexperience.co.uk and I am on the video AARRGGHH!!!! it was only a month ago!! I won't tell you which one I am! (im waving in the inside cockpit shot) The weight limit they have is 15 stone I weighed in at 95kg's i think but I was fine. They are more worried about people with big hips as the pilots feet have to run down the side of you. I'm sure your man will be fine! I promise you he will never forget it.

    As for insurance I know they are insured and they are operate as an Airline regulated by the CAA. They are proud to be the only company to boast all ex red arrows pilots and be regarded as an airline by the CAA. I'm not sure about the mortgages etc but give debbie a call and ask (shes one of the pilots wives who acts as a secretary) they are all genuinely great people.

    Regards

    Simon

    How about http://www.airkix.com/?gclid=COizwL3394wCFRAFEgod4zzRDQ which is what I'm considering giving to my DH for Xmas (you can use your Tesco Club Card vouchers!)
  • Hi Simon

    Me and my mate have just watched you!!! looks brilliant. Who was that with the sick bag?

    Thanks

    Lou
    Its been the longest three months..... success is nearly insight:T ....... Money in account :beer:
  • Hi Lou

    The guy with the sick bag is Chris, he's the one who looks like harry potter at the start of the video. He made it all the way through the flight and then threw up on the runway after landing! He's one of only 3 people who has thrown up i think, quite an exclusive club to be a part of! (i'm glad i'm not!!)

    At least you get a real view of what its like from inside the cockpit!!and a bit of a giggle at the poor guy being sick!

    I see your promoting the same site in all your posts.

    A good range of driving and flying experiences can be found at the the website below. The stunt driving something is a bit more exciting than just normal rally driving or for something really unusual you could let him drive a tank!

  • My husband has done a 4x4 drive and a Ferrari drive.

    It is cheaper to book direct with the driving school rather than go with a red letter day. We saved about £30 doing it that way.

    I am saving for him to do a full days rally at silverstone for his 40th, couple of years to go yet though.
  • How about using tesco vouchers for a drive experience?
