  • Recreate the early years of passenger air travel aboard a De Havilland Dragon Rapide biplane
  • Fly over London at 1,500 feet
  • Unrivalled views of the capital's iconic landmarks
  • Free entry to the Imperial War Museum Duxford
  • A must for anyone who's into aviation history

These days air travel is a nightmare of queues, checks and delays - and modern passenger jets are so vast that it's easy to forget you're in the air at all. Recreate the thrill of early air travel with a flight in one of Britain's best loved pre-war aircraft, the De Havilland Dragon Rapide biplane. Taking off from the Imperial War Museum Duxford, you'll fly south to London, enjoying magnificent views from 1,500 feet. First the Millennium Dome appears on the horizon, followed by London's famous skyline. You'll get wonderful views of the capital's landmarks, including Canary Wharf, St Paul's Cathedral, the royal parks and palaces and the meandering Thames. Back on terra firma, you'll get free entry into the Imperial War Museum (and half price entry for any guests) - it's Europe's premier aviation museum, spread over 85 acres and housing classic planes like Spitfires, a B17 and the prototype Concorde.

Location:

Duxford, Cambridgeshire
