    Turning North takes you past the Historic World War 2 airfield of Biggin Hill and on past Chelsfield and Orpington to join the River Thames at the impressive QE2 Bridge.

    Continuing east along the river you will fly overhead Tilbury Docks one of the major freight ports of the UK and on to Tilbury Fort (1680), one of the best examples of a Pentagon Fort in the country. 3 miles further on in the flight the route passes between the Coalhouse and Cliffe Forts (1860) facing each other across the river.

  • Canvey Island (Pass By)

    The Ruins of Hadleigh Castle (1215) still stand on the Northern Bank of the River just past Canvey Island. Guarding against French invasion. Now an English Heritage site and former London Olympics 2012 site for the mountain bike event. Along the coast the flight passes along Southend Beach front and over Southend pier, the longest pleasure pier in the world at 1.34 miles.

  • Southend-on-Sea (Pass By)

    From Southend the tour crosses the river passing close to the wreck of the SS Montgomery a World War 2 ammunition ship sunk in the estuary with several thousand tons of explosives aboard, her masts still visible above the water. Crossing to the Kent side of the Thames takes you past Sheerness and up the Medway River towards the historic Royal Chatham Dockyard (1567), still home to numerous ex Royal Navy Warships and Submarines.

My husband booked this as a surprise for me & our daughter - to see the sights of London & River Thames from above The trip was amazing and the views were fantastic - it was certainly was a new way to see the sights Anne-Marie was a super captain, I was a little nervous but she made me feel so relaxed and safe

Breathtaking!!
