Matt Knight
What a Great experience being expertly taught how to drive and manoeuvre a Truck in an hour, all down to Dan the instructor he helped make the experience even better being friendly, calm and putting you at ease driving such a big vehicle , Thanks
A Trusted Customer
Was OK once we got started but the organisers didnt welcome us and clearly thought we shouldnt be there. It took multiple phone calls to get us into Dunsfold and then into the artic ..
James B
Really loved this experience. Ive done some similar things before where the experience ends up being for a very limited time, but this one was a full 45 minutes of driving around Dunsfold which you might recognise from the good old days of Top Gear and a few manoeuvres thrown in for good measure.Instructor Dan was great very welcoming and calm for someone supervising a complete novice. Would definitely recommend.
A Trusted Customer
It was great.Fantastic tuition and drove around the airfield estate which felt like driving around a small town.
Craig Dock
The experience was really enjoyable. I had a great time. Little confusing on where to meet on arrival but after that, all good. Thank you
Mark P
This was a great experience. Everything worked well and it was easy to make the booking. The truck was huge but surprisingly easy to manoeuvre although reversing needed a lot of concentration. The trainer was friendly and helpful.
Andy Clune
This was a LOT of fun minimal prep talk and maximum driving time. Andy was a terrific coach and we drove pretty much all over Dunsfold Aerodrome amongst live traffic thoroughly recommended many thanks
The instructor brilliant
Ben the instructor was great and knowledgeable and helpful to make the driving a great experience . Could have done with better facilities not just for my wife she is disabled came to watch , a beverage machine might have nice.But a great experience, thank you

A really good experience on what are effectively public roads to give a true feeling of driving a large truck with traffic also on the roads. Instruction was clear and precise.

Brilliant time driving the lorry. My instructor Andy was very friendly, confident and relaxed. We had a go at loads of manoeuvres, using up all of the hour. He even had time to take a picture of me at the end. The site was perfect Dunsfold aerodrome as it gave us plenty of room to drive. Loved it

Booking was easy and communication with into the blue was straight forward. Timely emails too. Venue was more difficult as the main gate was closed. Had to navigate around the airfield with no signs to the actual driver experience. Happened to spot a lorry with the logo and saw a few people loitering so parked up and asked if they knew where to go. Luckily one was the driving instructor. I thought the experience was for 1 hour but I was only driving for about 3540 mins. Instructor was friendly and it was 11. Enjoyed the experience but not the stress of finding the place, and was a bit short . But bucket list ticked off.

Loved every second of driving a hgv. I learnt how to reverse a trailer on the good side and the blind side. I want to do it again, think I might go and get my hgv license.

After finding my way, unfortunately with no on site directions given, I met Seamus my driver trainer who was very good. I enjoyed my hour driving with some reversing and driving around the track.Seamus was knowledgable and relaxed and gave me not only information on driving but about the airfield and its history.An enjoyable experience day.

Family book the hgv experience for my birthday. What a great time we did driving around the track withe trailer on then reversing asked if I wanted to undo the trailer and reverse back on to it or do more reversing i choosed reversing then went around the buildings on so tight bends. What a fantastic time if you are thinking about it THEN DO IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Again it was fantastic thanks

I had an amazing HGV Driving Experience with a great instructor. We started off by the instructor showing me the two different types of Lorries that they had, then spent an hour driving around Dunsfold Aerodrome, not only driving on the runway, but some of the smaller roads too. I was was also instructed on how to reverse. Driving an HGV has been on my bucket list for ages, it now it has a tick against it

Excellent experience bought for my wife for her 60th birthday. She really enjoyed it and I as surprised that she drove in an are with other vehile and roundabouts etc. i assumed it would just be an airstrip. Great value

I had a great experience with my tutor, he was thorough in his guidance and I really enjoyed the experience. My only disappointment was that the area to meet was very confusing and hard to find where to be exactly. Better signage would be beneficial for future people taking this experience

Brilliant fun driving a 44 ton DAF truck around Dunsfold Aerodrome with a friendly, experienced instructor. I was able to drive around the routes with ease and successfully completed reversing manoeuvres, including blind side reverse. Would highly recommend.

Most enjoyable 80th birthday outing. Good instructor and plenty of space to get started. Also drove on the narrower roads on the adjacent industrial estate where the Jigsaw Trust operate the Cafe in the Park saw it but didnt go there. Recommend it but do choose the 1 hour session as I dont think the 45 minutes would be long enough. My wife travelled in the vehicle with us and took the over the shoulder photo.

Really good experience for a birthday present. 1st time trying class 1, after trying class 2 last year. Well worth the journey from Southampton. Dan put me through my paces, which I was hoping for. Not like other experiences, where everything is HS, with a mediocre experience. If I was going to do my class 1 licence, I would gladly have him teach me. Thanks again, Dan and keep up the great work. PS. If you arrive at the unmanned security office, youve gone passed him on your left.
