Story

Fundraisers will join Europe's only formation wingwalking team at their base in the heart of the glorious Cotswolds.

Following a thorough briefing, participants will be strapped securely into the harness on the top wing of a 1940's Boeing Stearman biplane by one of the professional wingwalkers.

The pilot starts the engine, taxi's across the grass airfield to the end of the runway and then takes to the air for a thrilling series of flypasts, zoom climbs, dives and banking turns with the wingwalker waving from the top wing to the supporters on the ground.

Feedback from Barbara, one of our former participants

I can hardly find the words to describe how magical the day was and far better than I could have ever imagined. The wing-walk itself was beyond amazing. I think I will remain "on a high" for a long time to come.
