What Can I Expect

Fun and affordable microlighting in Berkshire! This small and friendly club offers 30 and 60-minute flights in fixed-wing, closed-cockpit microlights out of Membury Airfield. Easy to get to from all over Berkshire and beyond, this is a great place to take your first flight in a microlight aircraft.

Membury was a busy USAAF and later RAF station. Once the war was over, the airfield was privatised and much of the land turned back to agricultural use. A thriving General Aviation scene remained and still does today at this strategically-positioned airfield between Reading and Swindon.

In fact, you’re right alongside the M4, yet on the very edge of the North Wessex Downs too. There’s even the rather impressive Membury Solar Farm to gaze down on as you take off on your instructor-led lesson.

Lead flying instructor on the fixed wing is Dave 'Coxy' Cox. He has a long established career in the RAF with the big planes, but he adores the little Ikarus microlight he flies. It's got side-by-side seating (so you get a really good view of what's going on) and it's nice and toasty in colder weather, thanks to that enclosed cockpit.

If you're looking for great value microlight flights in Berkshire with a choice of durations in a very cool Ikarus microlight, this is the place to go! Buy your vouchers online and go microlighting in the Berkshire skies with this relaxed and enthusiastic team.
