Here's their webpage. http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafbenson/
It's quite likely the cadets will be flying with No 6 Air Experience Flight. I think they have the Grob Tutor nowadays.

Good luck.

Sounds like a good time... Merlin or no, a free airplane ride is a free airplane ride. ;D
BTW, this is the perfect place to post that message... ;D
