70 items Pages Tiger Moth Flight (20 Minutes) Description:Enjoy a rare opportunity to fly in the De Havlland DH82A Tiger Moth. The Tiger was built in 1930 and operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. It remained in service with the RAF until 1950 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation that continues to this day. Before the flight you will undergo briefing on the controls and don your flying jacket and goggles. Once you are strapped into the front cockpit (the pilot will occupy the rear one) the plane's engineer will swing the propeller making the engine roar into action. Fortunately you will not have to shout over the noise since a modern electronic 'intercom' has replaced the original air tubes through which the instructor and student communicated with each other. With its slow take off speed and open cockpit you will enjoy vintage flying at its best! If desired you will be invited to take over the controls of the Tiger Moth and feel for yourself how it was to be RAF trainee pilot decades ago. A Tiger Moth Trial Lesson Flight certificate will be awarded afterwards with photo opportunities for guests. A fantastic vintage flying experience.

Kite Buggying Experience Description:This experience takes the best features of paragliding kitesurfing and landyachting and combines them to create unbelievable mixture. Instead of a fixed sail characteristic for landyachting the vehicle is propelled by a kite controlled by the buggy rider. Buggying has greatly evolved since it was initiated in 1990. Today buggies are specially constructed light vehicles that ensure high performance and easy handling. You will take control of one of these three wheel lightweight stainless steel buggies with your kite airborne 20 metres above to experience their amazing manoeuvrability and smooth steering. The kite buggy pilot is able to accelerate or decelerate easily steer a course between objects and stop the buggy at will. Since both hands are controlling the kite changes of direction are made thanks to the front wheel steered by the pilot's legs. With practice you can steer the buggy even upwind. The age is not an obstacle provided that you are in good shape and conscious of wind powers it is easy to become a safe kite buggier. Your full day experience starts with 2 hour session of flying 4 line power kites of varied sizes. Then it is time for four hours of skills developing and gaining experience so you could fully enjoy all that kite buggying has to offer. You will learn how to create traction steer the buggy forwards or backwards and turn in tight circles. And when the pure adrenalin is released with the sheer excitement of hurtling down the beach grass or airstrip at 30mph you will see for yourself that this is not a sport for the faint hearted!
