Stapleford Airfield Flying Experiences

Easily reachable from central London and deep into the rolling countryside of Essex lies Stapleford Airfield. Possibly because of its good city links and ideal placing near to the M25 and M11 motorways, it is a great venue to escape and enjoy some time up in the air with FlyDays. First known as Essex Aerodrome, it was opened for the operation of Hillman’s Airways (which was subsequently merged into British Airways) in 1933, offering flights to Paris and other European destinations on the de Havilland Dragon biplanes. The airfield also played a crucial role in preparation for the D-Day landings at Normandy in France in 1944. Military operations ceased at RAF Stapleford Tawney just before VE Day and the end of the war in 1945, and a memorial is still at the airfield which pays tribute to those who lost their lives.

Today, Stapleford Flight Centre runs from the airfield, together with other independent flying schools and leisure air operators. It has two parallel runways - an Asphalt one and a grass one, both measuring 1077 x 46 metres, together with hangarage and aircraft maintenance facilities.

Flying Lessons

If you’ve dreamed of taking to the skies above Essex, or just have a pipe dream of flying and piloting your own plane, Stapleford Airfield offers that opportunity with a selection of flying lessons lasting 30 minutes to three hours. Stapleford Flight Centre are approved by the Civil Aviation Authority, so their expert instructors that are on hand as you take to the skies to get your first experience in handling and controlling a plane and learning the joy of aviation are the very best around. And as an added bonus, all lesson time can count towards a Private Pilots Licence (PPL).

If your more interested in rotary aircraft, journey to Blackbushe Airport for a brilliant Helicopter Flying Lesson in an Executive heli. Much like Aeroplane Flying Lessons, these sessions can also count towards a PPL and make the perfect present for budding pilots.

Terms and Conditions for Stapleford Airfield

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.
