Welcome to Ardmore Helicopters Ltd

The instructor was incredibly accommodating regarding our timings, and the weather, which we really appreciated. He ran through the workings of the helicopter, and outlined exactly where we would fly on the experience. During the flight , he was informative and put me at ease enough to allow me to take control several times. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the helicopter. Unfortunately, it ended too soon, as I could have stayed up in it all day! Thank you.
