Fly a helicopter from an historic Sussex airfield

[caption id="attachment_355" align="alignright" width="250"] Imagine flying in a helicopter over this beautiful Grade II listed terminal building![/caption] We're rather pleased about signing up this new helicopter centre based at Shoreham Airport, as it's an airfield steeped in history and offering incredible views of the adjacent coastline, Lancing College and the South Downs. As if the excitement of actually going up in a helicopter (and flying the thing!) wasn't enough to get you all excited, the airfield is always busy, has excellent facilities and a range of helicopter lessons that will entertain the whole family.

The Ariel Atom – Clarkson loves it and so do we!

[caption id="attachment_131" align="alignleft" width="250"] The Ariel Atom - the most fun you can have a road-legal car[/caption] 'Driving nirvana' he called it. 'One of the most beautiful cars in the world' he reckoned. These are the superlative words of Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson who concluded that driving the Ariel Atom was 'off the scale' in terms of excitement and, we hate to say it, but we might just have to agree with him! We've currently got two suppliers offering you the chance to drive the Ariel Atom in York, Birmingham, Kenilworth or Stafford. It might look like a half-built Formula...
