About the experience

Product ID: 11776

This is your chance to go Microlighting in a 60 minute flying session over East Anglia! Hosted at Beccles Airfield - or Ellough Airfield, as it is known locally - on the border where Suffolk meets Norfolk, it is surrounded by peaceful countryside and lots of open airspace. A former WWII RAF station, Beccles was also a former Air Sea Rescue base until 1945, and from 1965 onwards it became a heliport for North Sea oil operations. There are two types of aircraft available to choose from for your microlighting session; a flex-wing or a fixed-wing aircraft. Both use the same engine and can accommodate the same number of passengers, but the difference in their design is clear to see! The P&M Quik GT-450 is open-sided, whereas the P&M flex wing is more open to the elements. The open cockpit makes it a more easier aircraft to pilot and navigate, as there are no rudders or flaps, just the accelerator and brake pedals, and the bar to control the wings. If you prefer a cosier flight experience, then the German constructed Ikarus C-42. Once you’re inside with the wing doors closed, and the instruction to “clear prop” has gone and the engine’s fired up, you’ll be up above the skies - and whether you’re fixed or flexi, this is sure to be an unforgettable time microlighting across Norfolk and Suffolk!

Another one off my bucket list. Absolutely great time. Probably one of the best adrenaline rushes Ive had in my 72 years.
