Operating historic aircraft in
the West of Scotland

Trial Lessons • Tailwheel Conversions • Aerobatics • PPL Hire
Learn to fly in a vintage aircraft!

Skylark Aviation owns and operates historic British aircraft at Prestwick International Airport, near Glasgow. We offer a range of pilot training courses, including ab initio instruction, tailwheel conversions and aerobatics, as well as trial lessons and aircraft hire.

The West of Scotland offers some of the most dramatic scenery in the British Isles, with stunning coastlines, towering mountains and a patchwork of lochs and glens. What better way to enjoy the experience of flying a classic aircraft?

At only £168.00 per hour*, Skylark's deHavilland Chipmunks are almost certainly the least expensive available for hire in the UK. With free ground tuition and very low instructor rates, there's no more cost-effective way to experience vintage flying.

*Wet rate for PPL solo hire. Excludes landing fees.
