We fly from

Hungerford

Flying from the grounds of a Tudor mansion and seeing Roman mosiacs from the air drifting towards the oldest forest in the land Savernake or over the Kennet and Avon canal and surrounding pretty villages or perhaps up towards the Lambourn Downs and horse training country.

Reading

See amazing sights from the air when you launch from Reading perhaps the historic prison that housed Oscar Wilde or Reading Abbey which was an important pilgrimage site since it held the hand of the Apostle Saint James among its many relics and the Forbury Gardens which are a delightful example of Victorian formal gardens. If rivers and water ways interest you than admire from the air The Kennet, Blakes Lock and the Holy Brook.

You’ll experience picturesque, historical or simply awe-inspiring flights, and you'll see the beautiful English countryside slide by gracefully below you.

Special launch sites

Our launch sites are unusual – they’re close to stately homes, steeples, cricket greens, marinas, castles, lakes or gardens. That gives you a richer and more memorable ride.
