“Wing walking with wingwalk buzz”
A terrible day. We drove 50 miles to attend and it was for my Mums 80th (she loves pushing herself). Upon arrival there was no one there. There was no number to call. Contacted them via Facebook messenger and received the answer “we text you all on Friday”. They then had an incorrect number for me and my mums name was spelt wrong. They took no ownership at all and are refusing to refund the fuel costs they made us incur due to their inability to correctly record info. Mum cried. Not good!!
