Our Amazing visit to Duxford

The visit began with everyone arriving at Sutton Park at 7:00 am. Tired faces and yawns were to be seen and heard. As soon as pupils and adults were on their way, more people were making up for the sleep they had missed. After over 3 hours with 1 toilet stop finally we had arrived at Duxford. The first idea was to take a flying trip on the 1930's Dragon Rapide .Group 1, the High Fliers were the first to experience this once in a life time opportunity. "It was amazing, even though the take of and landing was a little unsteady. I wish we could do it all over again!" remarked Rebecca. "It was a superb experience Iwould love to relive" replied Mr Holland excitedly. Paul Arnold from the Speedolite enterprize exclaimed, "It was a brilliant experiance I shall never forget."
