Student Trip to Portsmouth April 2023
Elstree Helicopters Elstree Helicopters, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, United KingdomCapt Berry takes on another adventure... This time we head to Porstmouth! Taking the long way the trip will see us fly via London City eastbound along the Thames before circumnavigating Kent then following the south east coast all the way to Portsmouth landing at Lee. A quick transfer to the town for a stroll around the marina and the opportunity for some retail therapy at Gunwharf Queys not forgetting fish and chips before we head back to Elstree (the short way) and through the Heli Lanes.
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!
For full details please get in touch. Spaces on our trips are always fiercely sort after so get in quick!
