Go microlighting from Elstree & you’re well within the M25 making these lessons the closest we’ve got to London! Given it’s proximity
...Go microlighting in East Anglia! Based at Beccles Airfield on the Norfolk & Suffolk border this small & friendly flying school is a joy to visit surrounded by quiet countryside & lots of unrestricted airspace. Known locally as Ellough Airfield Beccles was built as an RAF station in the Second World War being occupied by RAF Bomber & Coastal Comm&. & in fact Beccles was used as an air sea rescue post until its closure in 1945. It all went quiet in this tranquil corner of East Anglia until 1965 when Beccles became a heliport for North Sea oil operations. Since then the General Aviation activities that include helicopters light aircraft parachuting & now microlighting has kept Beccles Aerodrome busy. For your microlighting lesson there are two (technically speaking) very similar aircraft available. Both come in at under 450kg so are classed as microlights. Both have the same size engine & both seat two people. But take one look at the flex wing microlight next...
