Solent Airport Flying Experiences

Naval aviation at Lee-on-Solent began on July 30, 1917, with the establishment of the Naval Seaplane Training School by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). Initially, aircraft were housed in temporary hangars and transported to the cliff top before being lowered by crane onto a trolley that ran on rails into the sea. Permanent facilities soon followed, including hangars, workshops, accommodation, and a double slipway.

Post-war, HMS Daedalus retained its importance and was officially renamed HMS Ariel on October 31, 1959. It subsequently became home to the Naval Air Trials Installation Unit (NATIU), tasked with installing and testing new systems in various flying test bed activities.

Terms and Conditions for Solent Airport

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.

If you have any more questions about Solent Airport gift vouchers and experiences please contact us.
