Flying and Driving Experience
If you can’t decide between a flying experience, driving experience or a sightseeing experience, then this day is a combination of all three.
This Tigers and Tanks unusual experience day begins with a briefing in the control tower, then don a flight jacket, helmet and googles for a flying lesson in a genuine De Havilland Tiger Moth, the quintessential English biplane.
Back on solid ground, pose for a picture with the Tiger Moth, before hitting Duxford's military testing ground for a driving lesson in an armoured personnel carrier.
After a buffet lunch back at the tower, let someone else do the driving on a flight over Cambridge in a De Havilland Dragon Rapide, recreating the early years of passenger air travel and enjoying unrivalled views over the Fens and the city. Then get a short, private guided tour of Duxford's aircraft collection, including Spitfires, a B17 and the prototype Concorde.
You'll finish with a champagne toast and a certificate presentation. The experience includes entry to the superb Imperial War Museum at Duxford.
It's an excellent full day of thrills that you will find hard to forget. A fantastic flying and driving experience all in one!
All of our gift experiences are presented in an attractive red case with "Congratulations - you are the lucky recipient of a Well Wicked experience day" written on the front. You will also get a DVD featuring many of our experiences. Experience vouchers can be personalised if required.
