Details for the Vintage Dragon Rapide Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket Flight for Two

Product ID: 14244

Experience the ultimate sightseeing adventure for two with the Cambridge, Ely & Newmarket Dragon Rapide Tour. Step aboard a fully restored, airworthy de Havilland Dragon Rapide — one of the very few still licensed to carry passengers. With just eight spacious seats, both of you will enjoy window seats and plenty of legroom, offering uninterrupted views of the landscapes below. This scenic tour lasts around 45 minutes, taking you first over the historic city of Cambridge. Marvel at the stunning spires, ancient colleges, and charming courtyards of King’s College Chapel, Trinity, and St John’s, while tracing the winding course of the River Cam. Your journey continues across the fens to Ely, where the 12th-century Ely Cathedral towers majestically above the flat landscape, before heading to Newmarket to spot the famous racecourse from above. The tour departs from and returns to Duxford Airfield, where you will have time to capture photos, browse souvenirs, and enjoy included entry to IWM Duxford, immersing yourselves in aviation history both before and after your unforgettable flight.

I really enjoyed the flight . It was a 70th birthday present and an unexpected treat . Really friendly staff and very well organised. The fact that my friends were allowed into Duxford at half price was an added bonus . My thanks to all.

I was given this treat as a present for my 65th birthday. My wife was included and was a bit wary of the trip. We both loved it, the view was stunning, the staff friendly and efficient, the plane was amazing It rattled and bounced about a tiny bit, just what flying should be like Very noisy which I wasnt expecting and smaller cabin than I anticipated but I loved it. If I win the lotto I might try to buy one for myself The treat included entry to the museum which I found fascinating. Al in. All a GREAT EXPERIENCE,

A smooth, well organised experience from beginning to end. The booking was easy. Entrance to Duxford was also easy. We were greeted with pleasure and enthusiasm. The briefing, loading and information giving was excellent. The flight over Cambridge was great with the pilot banking and turning to enable everyone in all seats to get a great view. The return, landing and exit went smoothly. Altogether a great experience which I dont hesitate to recommend.
