This is a REAL ROTORHEAD trip! The Helicopter Museum is the largest dedicated Helicopter Collection in the world with over 100 helicopters on display. Exhibits include two of the Queen’s Royal Flight helicopters, the current world speed record holder G-LYNX, a Vietnam Veteran Huey and a Russian Hind Gun Ship.

Out of Elstree SW towards Marlow and Henley upon Thames continuing westbound over Reading and through RAF Benson MATZ turning at Newbury Racecourse, over Devizes remaining south of Bristol and to fly over one UK’s famous geographical landmark Cheddar Gorge! From there it’s NW to Weston Super Mare and the Heli Museum where we will be marshalled on to their substantial helipad by their band of volunteer ground handlers.  Lunch at the Cafe, tour the museum and visit the restored WWII Pilots Block and Weston Aviation Exhibition detailing Weston’s aviation history.

If you are currently learning to fly our student trips are great practise for navigation, straight and level flight and radio work as well of course as being jolly good fun! Already passed? These trips are a great excuse to use your PPL, hone your skills, hour build or just spend time with other pilots. Aircraft owners are also welcome to join us, the more the merrier!
