Spend a blissful hour exploring the Thames and Medway Estuaries with amazing sights of innovative buildings and natural erosion showing the sheer power of rivers.

Your flight begins at Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey. Once aboard your helicopter your pilot will climb to a cruising altitude and pass overhead the beautiful Surrey countryside including villages such as Godstone, Oxted and Westerham. Your route will take you along the edge of the North Downs bordering South East London. Affording views of the London Skyline as you fly high above The M25 traffic past Sevenoaks.

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. Here you will be turning for The East Coast passing over the fascinating industrial landscapes of container ships, jetty’s and Factories that surround the Dartford crossing and the banks of the river up to City Airport and the Thames Barrier.

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.

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. While traveling to a wonderful place like this with your loved one, make sure you record that memory with the help of a photo, to cherish this beautiful memory for a lifetime.

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.
