Exciting flying lessons from historic Conington Airfield near Peterborough ...

Feel the wind beneath your wings on these Earls Colne airfield lessons in a light aircraft! A good range of lesson types & durations are offered at this very well-kept flying club on the edge of the lovely Earls Colne Golf & Country Club estate. For a small aeroclub nestled between the quaint little villages of Earls Colne & Coggeshall this club is big on runways having not one but two grass & tarmac strips. This is because Earls Colne was purpose-built in the 1940s as a World War II bomber base airfield first welcoming the USAAF & then the RAF. When it was sold off in 1955 the land returned to a mix of agriculture offices & the fun business of flying. Visitors who fly in to Earls Colne often comment on how well-maintained the whole airfield is with recent investment in 2011 providing new hangars pilot briefing rooms & more space for the Essex Air Ambulance that is also based at this easy to get to aerodrome just north of Colchester. Led by Mick Manders there is a good-sized team of flying instructors & dedicated ground staff at Earls Colne so you will be able to take lessons flying out of the airfield on weekdays or weekends throughout the year. Planes owned & operated include Cessnas Robins Rockwell Commuter an Alpha 120T & a TB10
- all much renowned in flying circles as they are robust easy & thrilling to fly whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned pilot. So it's chocks aways at Earls Colne Airfield with lessons for all abilities & ages (the youngest a flyer can be is 14). All lessons include the opportunity for you to take control of the aircraft as you zoom over the rather lovely golf club & the likes of Deer Park Lily & Marshall Woods. What's more the airfield is free of controlled airspace so you will be the King or Queen of the skies on these taster lessons from Earls Colne!
