  • Can't decide between flying, driving and sightseeing? Then try all three
  • A flying lesson in a Tiger Moth biplane
  • Drive an armoured personnel carrier on a military driving range
  • A sightseeing flight over Cambridge in a vintage Dragon Rapide
  • Includes lunch and a private tour of the Imperial War Museum Duxford

Can't decide between flying, driving and sightseeing? Try all three at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. Your experience begins with a briefing in the control tower, then don a flight jacket for a flying lesson in a genuine De Havilland Tiger Moth, the quintessential English biplane, and discover why generations of flyers have fallen in love with these spunky little planes. Back on solid ground, pose for a picture with the Tiger Moth, before hitting Duxford's military testing ground for a driving lesson in an armoured personnel carrier. After a buffet lunch back at the tower, let someone else do the driving on a flight over Cambridge in a De Havilland Dragon Rapide, recreating the early years of passenger air travel and enjoying unrivalled views over the Fens and the city. Then get a short, private guided tour of Duxford's aircraft collection, including Spitfires, a B17 and the prototype Concorde. You'll finish with a champagne toast and a certificate presentation.

Location:

Duxford, Cambridgeshire

More information

Participant Guidelines: Minimum age is 18 and maximum weight is 16 stone. As a guide if you can fit comfortably into a standard size car seat, you will be comfortable in the cockpit. Asthma sufferers may participate.
Weather: As the Tiger Moth is an open-cockpit plane, certain conditions might mean that your flight is rescheduled or some aerobatic movements aren't possible. Please call the venue from 8.30am onwards for a weather check before setting off.
Duration: Your experience will last for about five and a half hours, including approximately 20 minutes in the Tiger Moth. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your allotted start time, or call the venue if you are delayed.
Numbers On Day: You will share your experience with a maximum of 15 other people. Your Tiger Moth flight will be held on a one-to-one basis. The museum is very popular and can get busy on summer weekends and school holidays.
Spectators: Visitors are welcome and can get half price entry rates to the museum. Please note that all spectators have to enter the museum to watch you take off.
Dress Code: Tiger Moths have open cockpits, so wrap up warm. Wear soft-soled shoes. Bring sunglasses and if you have long hair, something to tie it back with. Flying kit (jacket, headset and helmet) will be provided.
Availability: Weekend dates approximately once a month between April and October.
Other Info: Regulations set out by the Civil Aviation Authority can affect your rights in the unlikely event of an accident - full details are available from the venue.
