About the experience
Fly from Duxford in a historic, one-of-a-kind restored 1930s Dragon Rapide over the skies of beautiful Cambridge for 20 minutes. Enjoy the luxury restored seats of this lovingly restored de Havilland Dragon Rapide as you sit back and peer out of the window through the silver-coloured wings and struts right over Cambridge. There is no better way to see this historic city than from the skies, as you’ll be treated to aerial views over the university colleges, including King's College, windy cobblestone streets and ancient churches, without the crowds of tourists getting in the way at every turn. Every passenger in the plane has a seat next to the window, and compared to modern planes, you’ll be able to enjoy the generous legroom on offer, after all, they knew how to fly in style and comfort in the 1930s. Treat yourself or someone you know to a flight in the historic Dragon Rapide with stunning views over Cambridgeshire, complete with an aviation enthusiast firm favourite, a visit to the IWM Duxford to learn even more about the history of the skies.
