A Magnificent Man and His Flying Machines…

How mean of me…

You’ve seen the aeroplane  tables inside Pilot Pete’s Pancakes and Planes Café, and the quirky, humorous  and colourful outside but what does the rest of the inside look like?

As you can well imagine, the  aviation theme continues…

…and How!

This isn’t like any pancake or burger joint you’ve ever walked into before…

…there are planes on the walls,  planes hanging from the ceiling and the place just rocks flying machines of almost every variety imaginable.

From making a model to taking a flying lesson you can do it here…

If on the outside you ever doubted that there was a passion for flying here, then all of them can be instantly dispelled once you step over the threshold. How cool is this place?  Me… I just wished I lived close to this place…  I love it!

    • If I’m really honest it *might* have been me who had to be reminded how late the day was getting LOL.
