Helicopter pleasure flight

Chance for you and a friend to take in the glorious views of Woburn Abbey and Safari Park; the Cardington hangers; Millbrook Proving ground; the Snow Dome at Milton Keynes and more. En-route commentary from pilot. You will need your camera

From Cranfield in Bedfordshire, valid 9 months, 2 participants.

What's included

After a short briefing you will, for 30 minutes, be transported into another world.

On this flight you will see such exciting landmarks as :-
- the Cardington Airship Hangars (sheds) which dominate the north Bedfordshire skyline – they are just as impressive from above. Built in the 1920s to house cargo and passenger-carrying airships. Today their use is more diversified - not just in the development of airships, but as a fire research centre and in films, too, such as Batman Begins.
- the Millbrook Vehicle Proving Ground – modelled on the Milford proving ground in the USA, Millbrook is an extensive site where every kind of land vehicle including heavy commercial, military and off-road vehicles are tested and demonstrated.
- Woburn Abbey, whose history dates back to 1145, originally a house for Cistercian monks and now home to the 15th Duke of Bedford. Look out for the safari park and the deer which roam freely around the estate.
- Milton Keynes and the Snow Dome. The road layout of this new town really is impressive from the air – very different to most english towns that have grown through random developments.

Your pilot will explain more during en-route commentary. A truly fabulous flight for historians, motor enthusiasts and animal-lovers alike!
