Tibenham Airfield Flying Experiences
Nestled in the heart of Norfolk, just a stone's throw away from the capital city, Norwich, you'll find Tibenham Airfield, also known as Norfolk Gliding Club. With a history dating back to 1916, when an Air Defence was set up on the sight to counter the Zeppelin raids on East Anglia during the First World War, flying from this airfield is like taking a journey through history.
Since then, it has played an active role in the Second World War and even the Cold War where it was used as a base for 'big bombers.' Although the Ministry of Defence closed the airfield in 1959, it was taken over by the Norfolk Gliding Club and is used for all kinds of flying adventures today. If you are looking for Flying Lessons in Norfolk, then Tibenham is a must visit.

Terms and Conditions for Tibenham 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.
