What Can I Expect
Auster flights out of Cambridge! The Auster aircraft is something of a hidden gem in the world of vintage aviation and we think you'll love it. British built and steeped in history, the Auster is a brilliant little plane that's fantastic to fly in.
Your 20 or 30-minute Auster flight experience will take place at Fowlmere Airfield, situated between Cambridge and Royston. This airfield, formerly known as RAF Fowlemere, is full of WW1 and WW2 aviation history, with many stories to be told - and the Fowlmere Museum (open once a month) in a Nissen hut on the airfield is a must-see.
Back to your flight. Once you've talked through everything with your pilot host and you have a flight plan agreed, you'll be kitted out with a military flying suit, ready to make your way out for your Auster flight.
VF516 will be waiting for you. Built in 1951, this fully restored Auster aircraft still proudly flies in her silver grey Mk10 Forces training colours, reminiscent of her active role in the Forces as an Army observer aircraft.Once onboard and settled
in your seat, you’re ready for the in-aircraft briefing. Now it's time for this delightful aircraft to come to life as the engine starts. After some checks, your pilot will taxi to the runway and before you know it, you'll be airborne in the lovely Auster over the Cambridgeshire countryside!
We're super pleased to be able to offer flights in this delightful Auster. With lots to see from the air, a flight in this authentic World War Two Auster in this wonderful part of the world is sure to charm you. Book your 20 or 30-minute Auster flight slots now.
