Whitehaven 2011 Pleasure Flights

A big thank-you to the people of Whitehaven for their hospitality over the weekend of the festival again this year. We managed to fly all weekend despite the weather looking like it was going to cause problems....it seemed to rain a lot less up on the hill than most of the rest of the town! Everyone seemed to enjoy their flight and hopefully the noise was not too annoying for the people living close by!

The following provides general information about the 2011 event for reference

The pleasure flights will take place throughout the weekend of the 17th - 19th June Whitehaven Festival and follow a very similar format to the flights in 2010 (Click here for photos of the 2010 event).

Flights will last for approximately 5 minutes which incorporates flying right around the town and surrounding area and a fantastic view of the festival site all for only £25 (inc. vat) per person!

Helivation's Whitehaven Heliport will be located near the Haig Colliery but in a slightly different location to 2010 and there will be a free bus operating again all day from the town centre to the Heliport. There will also be a ticket office located at the harbour selling pleasure flight tickets by cash and card payment but only cash payments accepted at the main Heliport.
