Book your seat on this Leeds Castle pleasure flight for a taste of vintage passenger aviation at its very best! Everybody knows it's one of the country's loveliest castles but having the chance to fly around Leeds Castle on an aerial tour is a rare opportunity that should be grabbed with two hands. Setting off from Headcorn Aerodrome your vintage flight over Kent is operated by a de Havilland Devon. This wonderful looking (and sounding) plane harks back to the fledgling days of post-war passenger air travel. It enjoyed a long & illustrious career as the short haul airliner of choice for many many years & it's still such a pleasure to fly in one
- especially when it's to somewhere as beautiful as Leeds Castle. After take off you'll take a northerly direction over the Downs & towards the M20 motorway that cuts through Kent. Just north of Broomfield you'll see The Great Water come into view & that's when you know you're at Leeds Castle. Past the glamping playground maze & formal gardens you'll be afforded great aerial views of Leeds Castle & its moat on this tour. What's more every seat is a window seat in this vintage plane so no matter where you're sitting you're going to get great views of Kent on your flight. We needn't tell you that bringing a camera is essential. You'll get some superb shots as you gracefully fly in your classic airliner over the Garden of Engl&. Dressed in her RAF Transport Command finery this Devon is the perfect plane for taking a vintage flight over this pretty corner of Kent. With Leeds Castle being so close it's the ideal tour itinerary for this aircraft giving you just enough time to enjoy the sensations of vintage flying take some great photos & look at this most famous of Kentish castles from the air. Your Leeds Castle pleasure flight lasts around 15-minutes choc-to-choc that's to say from when the engines start turning to when you're back on the ground with engines off. Operating between April & October it makes for a brilliant day out the whole family can enjoy in the flying season. & even if you're not flying there's the RAF Lashenden Museum cafe & children's play area on site too.

Sightseeing at its most civilised with these Cambridgeshire Dragon Rapide Pleasure Flights! Hark back to the dawn of mass air travel when the de Havilland Dragon Rapide was THE short haul passenger airliner to be seen in during the 1930s. & before the Second World War halted such expansion of scheduled flights the Rapide was used by many airlines in the UK. The team in Duxford is incredibly proud to look after & operate two fully restored fully air worthy Dragon Rapides compliant with current regulations as there are very very few still licensed to fly with passengers. With just eight seats onboard (and each with way more leg room than you get in economy class these days!) every passenger is next to a window so you will be able to get a good look out through the silver-coloured wings & struts. The Cambridge Ely & Newmarket tour lasts around 45 minutes & after take off you'll head to the centre of ancient Cambridge. Be prepared for breathtaking spires historic colleges an... ...

Wonderful Tiger Moth flights over the Cotswolds! Classic aviation comes to the beautiful Cotswolds with a whole range of flight durations on offer. Departing from Cotswold Airport just a few miles from Cirencester it's going to be great views & great fun all the way! Back in the day this was RAF Kemble. The airfield was home to the No 5 Maintenance Unit from 1938 & by the end of 1939 over 600 aircraft were based here in Kemble. The fleet included Tiger Moths just like the one you will be flying in today over the gorgeous corner of Gloucestershire. In those days it was young trainee fighter pilots who took to the skies above the Cotswolds to learn their craft
- now it's you! This operator has a trio of lovingly restored Moths in their collection. Charged with the enviable task of flying these historic aircraft is a team of highly skilled pilots. They've all got oodles experience from flying modern jet fighters & air liners around the world to taking delicate warbirds out to fly-ins & air displays. No matter how many modern & classic planes they've flown amongst them all agree that 'nothing puts a smile on a customer's face quite like a ride in the iconic Tiger Moth'. We can't say fairer than that! Indeed it's amazing to think how much these beloved biplanes contributed in creating wartime heroes setting those courageous young pilots on the path to being ace fighter pilots. We think it's time you experienced a bit of that for yourself which is why we've gone for the range of flight durations out of Kemble Airfield from 20 to 60-minutes to suit all budgets. You'll prepare to soar over the Cotswold skies in your Tiger Moth by donning a traditional leather flying jacket with goggles. Then once installed in the front seat of the cockpit (for the best view!) you're ready for take off. Give a hearty wave to your friends & family watching from the sidelines & away you go!

Find yourself battling in space racing cars & fighting zombies in this very realistic virtual world you'll be stepping into. Explaining what a virtual experience is like is pretty much impossible. It's one of those things that you just have to try for yourself. It takes game playing to a whole new level as you will soon forget where you are & get totally & utterly immersed in your new virtually real environment. This operator is offering 30 & 60 minute VR experiences with an impressive catalogue of games for you to choose from. Sessions principally use the leading HTC Vive VR headset. This is an impressive top-end piece of virtual reality kit that has impressed technology & gadget experts since its release. In essence you will be wearing a wraparound face mask that projects two high resolution images (one for each eye) with high quality surround sound headphones.

Vintage Slingsby Glider Experience

Vintage Slingbsy glider flights - good old fashioned open-cockpit gliding now available! This is your chance to fly in a rare Slingsby T21 glider. The vintage soaring machine is still very much a favourite and it's a real honour to be able to offer flights in a stunning example of the classic T21. Known as 'Daisy' this T21 was built in 1951. Designed and built in the UK by Slingsby the very first T21s took to the sky in 1944. They were used by RAF Air Cadets for training right up until the 1980s proving that this graceful bird has real staying power. Now many are in the hands of private owners and glider clubs who lovingly preserve these wonderful machines. These Slingsbys look quite different to modern gliders. Affectionately called 'The Barge' it's easy to say why with that wide flat
boat-like hull. Unusually the T21 has a side-by-side configuration compared to most gliders that are tandem with one person sitting behind the other. But the major difference is that this baby is open cockpit. That means you are completely open to the elements making a flight in a vintage Slingsby glider with its 54ft wingspan the nearest you'll get to being a bird! Resplendent in her RAF trainer colours Daisy is a magnificent sight in the sky. Loved by RAF cadets (and their instructor trainers) for being robust stable with rather sedate flying qualities the T21 is pure gliding joy. With her distinctive looks Daisy is a real head turner. Your flight will be a winch-launch giving you around 10-minutes of soaring in the skies above Bicester. Being the elegant lady of a certain age that she
is Daisy can only fly in clement weather so please be patient with her. If your booked flying date is cancelled you can choose to rebook or take a flight in one of the club's modern gliders. We have to say flying with one of the country's oldest glider clubs at one of the oldest airfields (RAF Weston-on-the-Green is still an active RAF base too boot) in a classic vintage Slingsby glider is a true delight. Anyone who is into silent flight will absolutely love this experience. Buy your voucher now and book your seat in this historic open-cockpit vintage glider. It's going to be quite a flight.
