During your experience you will be treated to a real 'insiders' view of what happens at a flight school as you follow exactly the same process as someone starting out in the journey to become a fully qualified pilot. & yes if you do carry on this session will count in your pilot's log book.' Hands on' is definitely the word here as your instructor will make sure you are in control for as much of the flight as possible on this experience. Unique to this Midlands school these flying lessons let you taxi the aircraft out (and you may be surprised to know it's done with your feet!) & actually take the plane onto the active runway ready for take off. In fact as long as you're up for it & confident the only parts of this flight your highly experienced co-pilot instructor will handle are the actual take off & landing sequences.

But of course this flight experience isn't just about the views from the cockpit. Based on two people sharing you will spend around 30 minutes up front in the hot seat honing your skills & when you're not flying you will be observing all that's going on from the rear seats of this four seater training aircraft. We think these flying lessons in the Midlands are the perfect choice for really getting to grips with what flying is all about. & as a little extra touch you can celebrate the end of your fascinating flight experience with a complimentary drink at The Oak public house at the entrance to the airfield

Every well-to-do clan had a London pad to complement the family estate in the country & the Crawleys of Downton Abbey were no different. These fascinating tours let you discover the Crawleys' London. The Crawleys upped sticks & left Downton Abbey for London when it was Rose's debutante summer season on the capital's social scene. Home in the capital was Grantham House in St James's Square.

Dice with the God of wind storm & fire on a Huracan test drive! Lamborghini certainly picked the perfect name (Huracan is indeed a deity) for this impressive supercar. This is your chance to see if you can tame that Italian flamboyancy (with a touch of German precision) as you take the Huracan for a spin at the track of your choice.

It has to be said Lamborghini cars certainly appeal to a certain type of driver. If you want discrete high-powered motoring you won’t want a Huracan. However if you want something that shouts from the rooftops this car is for you. & the Lambo you could be test driving has got bold & brash pretty well covered as it’s that unmissable bright lime green colour with huge black alloys to boot.

As you’d expect the Huracan is brimming with complete confidence. As Lamborghini quipped when referring to the Huracan as replacement for the best-selling Gallardo: “ No-one can beat an icon. That’s why we created another one.” & that they certainly did.

The Huracan’s naturally-aspirated 5.2l V10 engine will reach the giddying top speed of 202mph & goes from standing start to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds. That’s quicker than the time it took you to actually read this sentence.

Slipping into the driver’s seat it feels more like the flight deck of a jet than a car. It’s all very theatrical & dramatic with a wraparound console a row of colour coordinated lime green buttons carbon inserts everywhere & that flat bottomed steering wheel. Take a closer look & you’ll see there’s a red button on it. This is the Anima button. We won’t tell you what it does but we’ll give you three words to remember: Strada Sport & Corso…

And while we’re at it here’s another Italian phrase for your Huracan test drive. Doppia Frizione. That’s 'dual clutch' as in the seven speed dual clutch transmission & gearbox. That is what also makes this car so responsive so quick off the grid & so impressive. We think you’ll have an absolute blast.
