Microlighting perfectly captures the spirit of early aviation - pioneering, thrilling and a touch eccentric. These quirky little aircraft, with their panoramic views from the cockpit, are ideal for short trips over the countryside. A great way to fly on a fine summer's day! Our instructors will give you a thorough briefing and then take you on a trial flying lesson. We are sure you will end up as enthusiastic as they are! You will be given a detailed briefing from your instructor, which includes how to use dual controls, how to enter the aircraft and pre-take off checks. You then take to the skies, climbing to up to 1500 feet above ground level in a flexwing (open cockpit) or fixed wing (closed cockpit - similar to a mini plane) aircraft (please state preference at time of booking). The instructor will demonstrate the controls and then, if the instructor is happy, the controls will be passed to you. Happy flying!

Bushnell Sonic Night Vision Scope - For a long time, man has had a fascination with being able to see at night without the use of big blinding lights. Until recently this has been nothing more than a dream, but this dream is now reality, with Bushnell Night Vision Scopes. The scopes are perfect for wildlife observation, home security, night time walking - in fact anything where you need to see in the veil of darkness. Bushnell Nigh vision scopes comprise of high-quality image intensifier tubes and optics that amplify existing light allowing you to see in conditions too dark for the naked eye. All of the Bushnell models feature an infrared illuminator for vision in total darkness, so stop guessing what's out there, and discoverer the night with Bushnell Night Vision.So how does night vision work? Well, in layman's terms it is fairly simple. You look through the one end when it's dark, and 'voilà!', you can see through the other end. However, for those more technically minded the answer is as follows: Available light (energy) is collected is /by the objective lens and focused on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier a photocathode is "excited" by the light and converts the energy into electrons. The electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen (like a monochrome tv screen) which emits an image that you can see. This acceleration of electrons provides gain and enhances the image. The aptly named Bushnell Sonic Night Vision Scope features a highly sensitive audio boom microphone which will detect sounds up to 82 meters away. It also comes with headphones and a recording port, so you'll see and hear exactly what you are looking at.
