Experience Bottisham Airfield: Helicopter Ride, Museum Visit & Cream Tea. Enjoy a unique day out at Bottisham Airfield with an exhilarating helicopter ride, a visit to the fascinating air museum, and a delicious cream tea—all included! Aviation enthusiasts will love exploring this former RAF base in Cambridgeshire, rich in history and charm. Located between Cambridge and Newmarket, RAF Bottisham was active from 1940 to 1946, hosting the RAF, US, and Belgian Air Forces. Today, the Bottisham Museum—opened in 2009—is the UK’s only museum dedicated to the RAF, USAAF, and BAC, packed with captivating exhibits and memorabilia, all curated by passionate, knowledgeable volunteers. After your museum visit, relax with a classic cream tea at The Flying Tractor Café, set in a charming replica Nissen hut, serving up some of the best cakes and scones in the region. The highlight of the day is the thrilling helicopter flight over the historic airfield, offering spectacular aerial views of the former aerodrome as you soar across six miles of the surrounding countryside. Steeped in history, full of flavour, and brimming with adventure, this experience at Bottisham Airfield—complete with museum exploration, a scenic helicopter ride, and a delightful cream tea—is the perfect gift for aviation fans and adventure seekers alike.
