Load-lifting

Helping minimise environmental impact during the rebuild of Glastonbury Tor.

Sling-loading materials in by helicopter reduced ground-damage caused by wheeled vehicles trying to gain access.

Parachute jump-ship

Seen here flying Gary Connery up to 2,400ft for his world record "Wingsuit Jump" in May 2012.

Usually, however, our customers use parachutes for this activity.....

Oscar Alpha is a regular jump-ship for Skydive UK, at Dunkeswell.

MD500E

The second of our 500s.

Both equipped with belly-hooks, we can lift and transport loads of up to 700kg.

Schweizer S300

One of our two training aircraft, which will see you through to your very own Private Pilot's Licence (Helicopter).

Or simply enjoy a trial flight, just for the experience of trying to control a helicopter (with an instructor alongside, of course).

Private charter

Seen here dropping clients off at a holiday cottage on the south coast of Devon, Oscar Alpha can whisk you over the southwest countryside at up to 130 knots.

(Oscar Alpha will do 156 knots, but it seems a shame to miss too much of our beautiful scenery!)

Oscar Alpha

Ready for the day's work.

Aerial photography

With our resident cameraman, Andy Carter of Dartmouth Photography, we are able to capture the subject of choice with vivid clarity, and with a minimum of time on task.

Aerial photography

Prior to Bold Explorer's departure for the Northwest Passage, we took to the skies with our cameraman (Andy Carter) strapped in for some superb action-shots.

Dartmouth from the air!

For business or pleasure, the view from the sky affords our passengers a spectacular & effective way of taking in their surroundings.

Corporate travel

Cruising at up to 130 knots, our Hughes 500 helicopters can quickly get you to time-critical meetings, with a minimum of fuss.

Flying time from our bases in Devon to southwest London is a little over 1 hour!

Sight-seeing tour

Flying along Devon's south coast provides some breathtaking views.

We are very fortunate to have north & south coasts within a short flight, not to mention the expanse of Dartmoor right beside us!

Aerial photography

Whether it be a prospective home, a business location, or simply for your own enjoyment, an aerial photograph is an excellent way to capture your property.

Flying lower & slower than fixed wing aircraft, we can also better capture detail of the local environment - waterways, highways, vegetation growth can all be recorded for ongoing reviews.
