A fantastic sightseeing helicopter tour of Kent for one person.
In September 1939, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared that Britain was at war with Germany. This left the South East and Dover with a special burden to bear. Only 20 miles from mainland Europe and the enemy, East Kent was the “doorstep of the free world” defending the Allied nations. On a clear day you can see the French coastline, imagine the flashes coming from the muzzles of the enormous guns Nazi Germany had entrenched at Cap-Griz-Nez and Calais. It would only take a minute before the shells would explode across Dover and the surrounding areas. Together with aerial bombardments, naval gunnery and later the Doodlebug and V2 Rockets, this part of the Garden of England became known as Hellfire Corner.
AV8 Helicopters invite you to experience the sights that gave Hellfire Corner it’s name. Take off from Rochester Airport and fly along the famous White Cliffs of Dover. You can see the gun emplacements, shell holes and fly over historic Dover Castle. We progress along the coast to Folkestone where the Battle of Britain Memorial stands out at Capel-Le-Ferne and you get an idea what RAF and Luftwaffe Pilots must have felt in their Spitfires and ME109’s as they battled for supremacy during the Battle of Britain.
We take in Hawkinge, a World War II Fighter Airfield, before turning in-land passing over many other historical sites on the way to view the home of Winston Churchill at Chartwell, then return along the North Kent coast passing the majestic Canterbury Cathederal & return to Rochester.
