A lovely vintage tail dragger aircraft with character that you don't find in modern aircraft, has been operated by the present syndicate for the past twenty four years. A Luscombe is not a modern fast aircraft, she cruses round at about seventy to seventy five knots giving you time to admire the beautiful scenery of the country side as you fly over it using only approx four gallons of fuel per hour.

A lot of aeroplane for only £21,000
Currently based at Fenland Airfield, Lincolnshire.
