You will be flying out of Sandhill Farm airfield for these Firefly experiences. It’s a discrete & friendly little airfield tucked in amongst the fields & farms around Shrivenham. Being just north-east of Swindon centre on the A420 it’s easy to get to from Oxfordshire & neighbouring Wiltshire too.

You will be flying over the countryside around Swindon in a Slingsby Firefly which is a bit of a gem for aviation fans. It’s a very capable two-seater aerobatic training aircraft that first flew in 1974 used by the RAF from 1995 to 2010 & much-loved by all.

Indeed the plane’s RAF trainer yellow livery & distinctive G-HONG registration is a nod to this Firefly’s story. Originally flown by the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force as a Police search & rescue support aircraft she returned to the UK when the unit disbanded. After a stint with the RAF she is now the star of the show at this airfield just outside Swindon.

And we must mention this Firefly is actually a T67 M200 version which is particularly rare as only 26 were ever built. She comes equipped with a more powerful 200bhp single engine & inverted fuel & oil systems
- just what you need for performing aerobatics & that’s exactly what you’ll be doing on these thrilling experiences!

Whether you choose the 20 or the 30-minute Firefly experience there will be plenty of time for you to get some serious aerobatic flying moves under your belt.
