Gyroplanes Yorkshire: Soar Over East Yorkshire

Your exhilarating journey begins at Melbourne Airfield, nestled in the heart of East Yorkshire. Here, you will take flight in a modern gyroplane, crafted for both comfort and excitement. David Beevers, a skilled pilot with over three decades of cherished flying experience, will be your guide as you ascend into the skies above the historic city of York.

As you lift off in the sophisticated Magni 24, you’ll find that flying in a gyroplane is a truly unique experience. With its side-by-side seating arrangement, it feels just like being in a light aircraft. His enthusiasm for flying is infectious, and as you navigate the controls under his nurturing guidance, you’ll quickly grasp how these remarkable machines operate.

Expect more than just a flight; David will share intriguing stories from the rich history of gyro flying and the significance of Melbourne Airfield itself, once a heavy bomber command unit during World War II. As you soar through the skies, take in the breathtaking views of rural villages, picturesque farms, and the iconic York from above. You might even spot the restored control tower, which now houses a small museum that pays tribute to its storied past.

Whether you choose the 30 or 60-minute lesson, you will have ample time to take the controls and admire the stunning East Yorkshire scenery from an aerial perspective. Are you ready to elevate your experience and create unforgettable memories up in the clouds?
