Matt is obviously a passionate aviator, and this is reflected in his operation. The price is incredibly affordable (especially considering you're flying a real warbird!) and his timings were always flexible. Unlike some of the larger organisations you really feel like there isn't a big push to squeeze you for every penny you have, Matt works to your schedule and tailors the training to your needs and goals - I never felt pressure to do anything I didn't want to do.

Matt is a natural instructor, approachable and supportive, right from the word go. Flying the Cub was the most fun I’ve had in general aviation so far. I left a more confident and rounded pilot. I would highly recommend Farm Strip Flying to all!

It was clear from the start that Farm Strip Flying are well respected and highly thought of. Arthur’s instruction was well structured, informative and positive throughout. His enthusiasm and genuine desire for me to succeed was infectious. The aircraft are clean and well maintained. The weekend was over far too quickly and I can’t wait to return.

Rae Woodman
I initially sought a tailwheel conversion with Farm Strip Flying, and Matt's instruction exceeded expectations. The process was efficient and friendly. My skills were expanded to include formation flights, short strip flying, and precision ’spot’ landings.

Flying with Arthur post-conversion added another dimension to my experience. Their effective instruction style fosters confidence and proficiency. I would seriously recommend Farm Strip Flying for tailwheel conversions or general instruction.

I am completing a Tailwheel Conversion with Farm Strip Flying and it is absolutely fantastic!

I love flying so much and this experience has opened the door to an entire world of aviation I never knew existed. Don’t hesitate to give it a go, you won't regret it!

Arthur is very accommodating, a competent pilot and very passionate instructor. I immediately fell in love with the Piper Cub and gained valuable insight on both tailwheel flying and farm strip techniques. I have flown a lot with Farm Strip Flying as I cannot keep myself away! I can confidently say it has been one of the highlights of my aviation career and made me a more competent pilot.

I had a fantastic time flying with Matt, doing a tailwheel conversion in the awesome vintage Piper Cub. Capable and experienced, he's a natural trainer, putting me at ease while teaching me new skills. All while having great fun, flying down the River Severn and dipping into local farm strips. Brilliant!
