Wing Walk ChallengeSaturday 28 July 2018, Compton Abbas Air Field, Dorset

Dorothy House Hospice Care Registered Charity No. 275745 | 065-2018 | 1/2

This Wing Walk challenge is a first for Dorothy House. You will take to the skies at Compton Abbas Airfield, fly with the only team in the UK that is fully approved by the Civil Aviation Authority to carry out Wing Walks for charity, with some of the most experienced pilots in the country at the controls of beautiful Boeing Stearman bi-planes.

They’re probably the best airfield in the Uk to enjoy both as a “wing walker” and a spectator. Already at nearly 1,000ft above sea level when you take off, the views are spectacular. Family and friends can watch the entire flight - from watching you get strapped in to greeting you off the aircraft when you land. Flying at speeds of up to 130mph at 2,000 feet above sea level is hard to beat!

If you are between 65 and 75 years old you must supply a doctor’s note on the day.• You must weigh less than 12 stone (77kg) and be between 5 and 6 feet tall.• You must be able to climb up the aircraft and through the struts to a height of 10 feet.• You will be required to sign a disclaimer before flying.• If you have any medical conditions you should consult your doctor before purchasing or booking your flight.• You cannot take part if you have or suffer from any of the following; epilepsy, fits, severe head injury, blackouts, fainting or giddiness, disease of the brain or nervous system, high blood pressure, heart or lung disease, recurrent weakness or dislocation of any limb, diabetes, mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction.
