We all have to be on land sometimes, so why not spend your time in congenial surroundings at the Bourne2fly Club? This is the base for both the Solent School of Flying and Bournemouth Helicopters.

You’ll have access to flight planning and weather information, and can book out with ATC.

Coffee is permanently on tap, and the social element is strong. Not only the normal pilots’ cameradie and banter, but it is a very supportive atmosphere.

There is a range of social events, ranging from BBQs to fly-away weekends at great destinations.

Membership of the Bourne2fly club is £85 per year, and is free to anyone undergoing training for their first year.
