North Weald Airfield Flying Experiences
North Weald Airfield, located in Epping Forest, Essex, is conveniently situated close to London and near the M11. This historic airfield, a former RAF base, has a rich military heritage, having been operational from 1916 until its closure as a military facility in 1964. Throughout its years of service, North Weald hosted many RAF squadrons. Notably, the airfield was home to the Hawker Hunters, which saw action over the beaches of Dunkirk and played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain. In recent years, North Weald Airfield has transitioned to civilian use, offering a range of aviation experiences. Visitors can enjoy flying lessons in light aircraft, experience the thrill of flying in a vintage Tiger Moth, or even seize the opportunity to fly alongside a Spitfire. Our site provides all these exhilarating experiences, ensuring that North Weald Airfield remains a vibrant and historic aviation hub.

Flying Lessons
If your looking to get some hands on experience why not book a trial flying lesson in a Cessna aircraft! Led by professional pilots and expert instructors our lessons are a great way to challenge yourself and try something new. Your instructor will handle the take off and landing and once airborne the controls will be handed to you under your tutors guidance. And if you fancy a little company on your lesson, why not make the journey to Blackbushe Airport for a four seater lesson where a loved one (min age 14) can join you in the rear seat.

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator.
