Activity
Details
This is a trip of pure nostalgia. There is something about an open-cockpit biplane. It has a timeless grace and beauty which perfectly captures the romance and adventure of pioneering aviation.
You will receive a full pre-flight briefing from your instructor who will also kit you out in the traditional leather flying jacket, helmet and goggles (leather jackets are subject to availability).
Once in the air, your instructor will demonstrate how to fly the aircraft and if you wish, give you an opportunity to take the controls for a real hands-on flying experience.
As you look out of the open cockpit, the countryside passes below you. You really could have stepped back in time to the 1930's. The flight itself lasts for 20-25 minutes but you should allow approximately one hour for this experience.
Locations
Essex, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, South Yorkshire, Surrey
