Fly gyrocopters over the
Lake District for a
stunning way of exploring
this fabulous area of
natural beauty! These
gyroplane flights out of
a privately-owned
airstrip in the Lake
District combine superb
views with tuition from a
highly experienced pilot.
If you've ever thought
about getting airborne in
a gyroplane the Lake
District has surely got
to be the place to fly
from. Roger Savage owns
and operates Berrier
Airfield between Keswick
and Penrith where his two
gyroplanes are based.
Roger is a font of all
knowledge when it comes
to both flying and the
Lake District so you're
in very assured hands.
Roger has flown all sorts
of aircraft from
helicopters to planes but
just loves his
gyrocopters. And this
wonderful Lake District
setting is the icing on
the cake for your
gyrocopter flight.
Berrier is just inside
the Lake District
National Park and is in
fact the only airfield
within the famous
Lakeland park area.
Indeed the backdrop is
rather impressive with
the high peak of
Blencathra watching over
the airstrip at 2848ft
and Ullswater less than
five minutes flight time
away. As you can imagine
being in the heart of the
Lakes means impressive
views are par for the
course no matter which
gyrocopter flight
duration you choose. As
soon as you take off it's
a melange of farms lakes
stone cottages and sheep
grazing surrounded by
peaks. And if you live
nearby a little look over
your house might well be
possible. Indeed the
agenda for these Lake
District gyroplane
experiences is very
flexible. You can work
out a flight path and
itinerary with Roger
during your ground
briefing. So depending on
flight time and
conditions on the day you
could head west to
Keswick and explore the
lakes follow Hadrian's
Wall or enjoy aerial
views of the Cumbrian
coast. It's all there for
the discovering - and
these gyroplanes are the
perfect aircraft to do
your exploring in. Roger
will be sitting behind
you in the gyroplane
giving you the front seat
with the clear view (no
propellors on the nose to
get in the way!). Both
aircraft he operates are
dual controlled so all
flyers are offered the
chance to take control.
That means you can be the
one actually flying the
gyrocopter over the Lake
District or you can just
sit back and enjoy the
ever-changing lakes and
mountains vistas.

Autogyro gyroplane or
gyrocopters in Essex -
whatever you call these
funky little aircraft
they are great fun to
fly! These flight
experiences take off from
the delightful Damyns
Hall Aerodrome and give
you a bird's eye view of
the London east area.
Just three miles north of
the QE2 bridge across the
Thames at Dartford Damyns
Hall is a great place to
take a gyrocopter lesson.
As you soar over the
Essex countryside the
London City skyline is
never far away and it's
totally amazing to be
able to look down and see
the traffic snaking along
the M25 and the boats on
the Thames. But these
gyrocopter flights out of
this Essex base aren't
just about sightseeing
they're about airmanship
too! Chief instructor
Owen Brooking will be
getting you airborne in
an open-cockpit gyro and
making sure you have
plenty of time to have a
go at the controls too.
And in case you're
wondering what it's like
in a gyroplane they are
actually really stable as
there are no wings to
cause that bumpy
turbulence...

Have you spotted the
gyrocopters over East
Riding? If you have the
likelihood is that it
will have taken off from
Beverley Airfield. These
experiences give you the
chance to take a trial
lesson in a modern
gyrocopter aircraft out
of Beverley to see the
sights and learn how
these machines fly.
Beverley Airfield is a
lovely little airfield
that boasts a
well-maintained grass
runway and a
clubhouse/cafe that comes
with a friendly welcome.
It's in a great part of
the country with great
views of the East Riding
of Yorkshire a given on
these flights. You might
even get to cruise over
the Humber estuary as
you're only a few miles
north of Hull here. Your
lesson will take place in
a AutoGyro Cavalon. This
German manufacturer is
leading the way when it
comes to gyrocopters.
With its award-winning
aerodynamic design the
Cavalon is innovative and
highly capable with a
cross country performance
to match. It's a very
well thought out aircraft
that's a true delight to
fly in. The Cavalon has a
fully-enclosed cockpit
with the advantage of
side-by-side seating.
That means you can see
just what your flying
instructor is doing and
being dual-control offers
up the opportunity for
you to have a go at being
pilot too. And we have to
say it's an amazing
feeling as you soar
effortlessly over the
East Riding countryside
and coastline knowing
it's you at the controls.
You'll be amazed at how
easy it is to fly too. Of
course you won't be doing
the tricky bits like
taking off and landing
but once you've cleared
take-off you've got all
the uncontrolled air
space around Beverley
Airfield and beyond to
enjoy the Cavalon
gyrocopter. We are
offering 10 30 and
60-minute flights in
these sophisticated top
of the range gyrocopters
over East Riding. Flying
out of Beverley Airfield
means a warm welcome is
assured and a great
little clubhouse and cafe
awaits for that
post-flight debrief over
a cuppa. We think you'll
love it.

Get the rotors spinning
and hit the heights when
you get airborne in one
these gyrocopters over
Wiltshire! It's
destination Clench Common
airfield which sits just
south of Swindon for a
lesson in how to fly a
gyrocopter from a
seasoned pro. Here's what
you can expect… A
little bird told us that
the chief gyro flying
instructor Graham is a
former British Champion
pilot so we think he
knows a thing or two
about how to get the most
out of these superb
little flying machines.
In fact the whole team
here at Clench Common is
highly experienced and
dedicated to the joys of
the rotary sensation you
only get when flying in a
gyrocopter. And if you're
thinking today's
gyroplanes are somewhat
flimsy like Little Nellie
from the James Bond films
think again. Technology
has advanced in leaps and
bounds with high-tech
super light-weight
materials now being used.
Clever aviation boffins
have fine-tuned designs
to make gyros the fuel
efficient quiet and
cheap-to-run rotary
aircraft they now are...

It's destination
Melbourne Airfield in
East Yorkshire for a spot
of gyrocopter flying!
Take to the skies near
York for a thrilling
flight in a
closed-cockpit gyroplane
to see just how much fun
these amazing little
flying machines are. Your
host for these gyroplane
flights is David Beevers.
He has gyroplane flying
in his family blood with
a long history going back
more than three decades.
Back in the day
gyroplanes were
innovative to the point
of being rather
precarious-looking flying
gadgets and gizmos unlike
the sophisticated and
stable aircraft they are
today. Ask David about
those early gyro days at
Melbourne he's got lots
of stories to tell! Today
David flies the Magni 24.
This fully-enclosed
gyroplane is a modern
aircraft with a side by
side rather than tandem
seating configuration so
the cockpit resembles a
typical light aircraft.
Indeed it's just as
mind-boggling to the
uninitiated with a
plethora of levers dials
and buttons. But worry
not all will become clear
with Da...

Get a taste of what
aerial sport flying is
all about when you take a
trial lesson in a
gyrocopter near
Doncaster! You will be
flying in a modern
closed-cockpit gyroplane
out of Sandtoft Airport a
small and friendly
airfield at Belton in
between Doncaster and
Scunthorpe. You will be
flying in a Cavalon
gyrocopter. Designed and
manufactured with typical
German precision by
AutoGyro this is machine
heralds a new era for
gyrocopters. It has a
funky aerodynamic design
with a fully enclosed
cockpit. Inside it's a
comfy and ergonomically
designed to offer you the
best visibility. And
quite frankly just
getting in the thing is
an event in itself as the
Cavalon boasts really
smart gull-wing doors.
This is the supercar of
gyrocopters! What's more
as the cockpit is a
side-by-side
configuration both seats
are equipped with a set
of controls. So these
gyrocopter experiences
from Sandtoft Airfield
are treated as trial
lessons which means that
if you're up for it you
can have a go at the
controls. Flying out of
Sandtoft between
Scunthorpe and Doncaster
is pretty amazing. The
landscape is a real mix
of industrial and
agriculture. As soon as
you gain height you have
an incredible aerial view
on what was this RAF
satellite station. Once
home to Halifax and
Lancaster planes the
former concrete aprons
and runways are filled
with literally thousands
of vehicles as this is
the home of car and truck
auctions amongst other
businesses on the
airfield site. With all
that and the busy A180 as
well as the River Torne
and the River Trent
snaking through the
fields around you it's
all quite fascinating to
see from the air. But
it's not just about
sightseeing you're here
near Doncaster to fully
experience the unique
sensation of flying in a
gyrocopter. There really
is nothing like it
especially when the
flights are operated by
the futuristic-looking
Cavalon. Time to get up
to Donny for your
gyrocopter experience!
