Remember Bo Luke & Daisy Duke? Then you'll love this Dukes of Hazzard experience! Jump into the authentically-styled Dodge Charger & drive
- just like the boys did when Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane was on their tail! The boys' car was known as General Lee thanks to the massive confederate battle flag that adorned the roof of their bright orange Dodge Charger. With 01 painted on each of the doors & fancy alloy wheels this big-bonneted car got the duo into & out of rather a lot off scrapes & predicaments often involving County Commissioner Boss Hogg saying: ' Roscoe arrest them Duke boys' & Roscoe replying: 'I'm gonna cuff ya & stuff ya!" Of course you won't be driving this gem of a car on the dusty roads of Hazzard County Georgia. We've got a selection of proper smooth tarmac tracks for you to to take the General on. They'll be no road gap jumps or car chases but you will be able to put your foot to the metal & you could find yourself reaching 100mph on the long straigh...

Photoshoots for him. Ever dreamed of seeing yourself immortalised in a smouldering sports magazine photoshoot? This photoshoot is just for men tailored to capture your inner hunk in a stylish & confidence-boosting session. In collaboration with your photographer you can create anything from classic fitness portraits to edgier black & white bare-chested images lit to accentuate the toning you've worked so hard on. The photographic studio is transformed into a cool urban-style setting & lights are used to maximum effect to make the boys glow in the glory of having all the attention. As for what style you go for well it's totally up to you. A lot of men like to get suited & booted for that tailored Forbes look other guys prefer the smouldering underwear look (think Calvin Klein's for a fitness-style GQ vibe). In fact all boys are very welcome to bring their own props so if you've got a favourite football kit rugby shirt or even cricket whites for that classic English gent l... ...

Sign up to a Dambusters flight experience & practice your low level aeroplane flying over the moors & reservoirs of Yorkshire! These Dambusters flights take off from Teesside International Airport & offer you over an hour of flying time to give you an insight into the sort of flight training the Dambusters pilots undertook. Although you'll be in a modern two or four seater light aircraft rather than a Lancaster Bomber for these Dambusters flying lessons the views are just as impressive. Those heroic pilots had to practice flying down to 150ft (well below radar detection level) without modern navigational aids. Tricky to say the least. When Doctor Barnes Wallis asked Wing Commander Gibson in the 1955 Dambusters film how they were getting on with the low level flying he replied: ' Ah it's awfully hard to get accuracy. I mean to within a few feet. Especially at night over water. Still we'll find some way of doing it'. Flying in low to drop the famous 'bouncing bombs' over the Ruhr Basin within a few feet of each other was key to the operation's success. Skimming the treetops is pretty scary stuff & as the RAF guys say if you can see the feet of the sheep you're too low. On these Dambusters flight experiences you won't be going that low (phew!) but you will certainly still be able to see the sheep's legs! You will take off for your Dambuster flight & achieve normal cruising level of around 3000-4000ft. There's lots of wild countryside to explore around these parts including the North Yorks Moors & the North Pennines with the likes of Balderhead Selset & Grassholme reservoirs. These places are also the perfect backdrop for a rapid descent down to 500ft (the legal minimum level flying these days). & yes at those sort of flight altitudes you can see everything from the cockpit. Dog walkers on the Moors farmers herding their cattle & of course those ubiquitous sheeps' legs too. But thankfully being in fairly quiet Piper aircraft means 'the chickens won't be laying premature eggs' like they did when the Lancasters roared overhead! We are offering the Dambusters flight experience in both two seater & four seater modern light aircraft. With many ex-RAF pilots on the roster the chances are you'll be able to quiz them about their low level flying exploits in fast jets whilst you fly! ...

Product Description

Fancy giving military truck driving around Morpeth a go? Clamber aboard the DAF T244 & take your truck for a drive around this off road course. It's been specifically built for 4x 4 vehicles in particular ex-Army beasts just like this one.

The Leyland DAF T244 is your classic general utility truck used by the Armed Forces. The T244 won a tough drive-off against Bedford & Volvo trucks to become the next generation of Army truck in 1985. Thousands of these all wheel drive off road capable trucks were delivered from 1990 to the mid-90s. Despite having since been replaced by MAN there are still lots of DAFs trundling around the world.

This is your chance to have a go at driving a prime example of a DAF T244 military truck. It’s an authentic ex-British Army vehicle & has all the hallmarks of being a proper off roader. There are grills over the headlights the door mirrors are mounted on huge fames & inside the cab there’s room for the driver & two soldiers alongside.

In the rear cargo bay with its roll up curtains & drop down sides there’s room for 20 squaddies. We can’t imagine it was very comfortable back there so much better to be at the sharp end driving than being bounced around all over the shop in the rear as you tackle tricky off road terrain on your drive.

It all feels hugely rugged chunky & pretty much indestructible when you’re sitting in one of these things. Weighing in at four tonnes they’re not light but they are amply powered along by the 5.9l diesel DAF engine. The T244 has impressive payload credentials as well capable of carrying up to 4000kg & able to tow trailers or artillery set ups.

The DAF came in all shapes & sizes including everything from troop carriers like this one to mobile workshops refuelers & flatbeds. Even the cab roof was strengthened to support the weight of soldiers
- & there was also a roof hatch & machine gun option too. Luckily you won’t be needing any of that on your military truck driving experience
- just the driving skills to tackle those serious steeps & deeps.
