The weather was awful with fog and some rain. The flight should have been cancelled. The pilot also flew directly above the Thames rendering the front seat passenger as the only one with great views through the fog. Riding on top of the river instead of at an off-set distance made for lousy photos being too close to the subjects. The reason for the disappointment is that I found the company so easy to deal with after a forced cancellation due to illness in 2018. I was happy to return as a client.

Pilots are in a rush and you are in the air for about 15 minutes. Such a disappointment. Would never recommend. Waste of money.
