About the experience
Experience the elegance of yesteryear with our Dragon Rapide pleasure flights over Cambridgeshire. Step back in time and soar through the skies in these meticulously restored historic planes. Operated by our dedicated team in Duxford, these flights offer a rare opportunity to fly in one of these iconic aircraft, as there are very few still licensed to carry passengers. With just eight seats onboard and ample legroom, every passenger gets a window seat for exceptional views through the silver-coloured wings and struts. The Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and takes you over the centre of Cambridge, where you'll see historic colleges and beautiful architecture. You'll also fly over Ely Cathedral and Newmarket race course. If you prefer a shorter tour, the Cambridge-only option lasts around 20 minutes and offers stunning views of the city's spires. The pleasure flights depart from and return to Duxford Airfield, where you can explore souvenirs and take photos. Additionally, your package includes an entrance to IWM Duxford, allowing you to immerse yourself in aviation history for the entire day.
