Description

You can choose one of the following activities: London pleasure flight (for two) Once aboard your 4-seater twin engined aircraft, you will join the Thames at Dartford then follow the river to the Millenium Dome, pass over Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, the City of London, then on to the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, then turn north to view Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and many more memorable sights. Champagne balloon flight Nothing quite compares to the serenity of ballooning. Gaze down over the fields, hedgerows and villages, dappled in a tranquil early morning light. Bask in the magical silence as you float high above the ground and then drop low enough to skim the hedgerows and treetops. It's a perfect way to take fabulous pictures - and a treat to remember for many years. After helping to inflate the balloon, you'll take off for an hour's flight and see the world below sliding slowly by. Enjoy a traditional champagne toast, and receive a flight certificate signed by your pilot and Sir Richard Branson. 45 minute flying lesson Your 45 minute flying lesson begins with a pre-flight briefing with your instructor. They will talk you through the effects of an aircraft's controls and what you will be doing during your first trial flying lesson. Then it's time to walk out to the aircraft where you will be taken on a walk round to see the main control surfaces of the aircraft. Your instructor will do the take off, and then will demonstrate some basic manoeuvres before it's your turn! Then you can experience for yourself the sheer exhilaration of flying. Your 45 minute lesson includes take off and landing. 60 minute microlight flight You will be given a detailed briefing from your instructor, which includes how to use dual controls, how to enter the aircraft and pre-take off checks. You then take to the skies, climbing to up to 1500 feet above ground level in a flexwing (open cockpit) or fixed wing (closed cockpit - similar to a mini plane) aircraft (please state preference at time of booking). The instructor will demonstrate the controls and then, if the instructor is happy, the controls will be passed to you. Happy flying!
