The
Tour Operator for the Aviation Enthusiast - Ian Allan Travel, in association
with Aircraft
Illustrated - the UK's best selling modern aviation monthly magazine
- organises aviation tours led by aircraft enthusiasts for aircraft enthusiasts:
from long weekend coach tours in Europe to 10-21 day tours to countries
around the world. Please refer to the contact details below if you would
like a copy of our latest brochure.
All tours are organized by Ian Allan's Aviation Tours department which
is led by Graham Dinsdale, a professional aviation tour organiser with
many years experience. All tours are escorted by Graham or one of our
experienced Tour Managers who are also aviation enthusiasts.
Aircraft Illustrated covers all the different areas of aviation: civil,
military, classic and antiques, warbirds, preservation and restoration,
museums and air shows. Our programme of Aviation Tours throughout the
year will include many of these interests - and much more.
Whenever possible, optional pleasure flights will be offered on some of
the most famous and classical aeroplanes flying today: civil and warbirds!
All visits to military bases, and the taking of photographs, are to be
confirmed - unless stated otherwise in the tour itinerary.
We list known aircraft types operating from each base, however, we do
ask to see all types resident thereon. Visits to civil airports and airfields
will include ramp tours wherever possible, and at museums we ask to look
around their workshops and restoration facilities.
At some of the famous cities and places we visit, the itinerary may well
include a sightseeing tour and/or free time to enjoy the local attractions,
go spotting, shopping or relaxing. All departures by air from the UK are
on the scheduled services of the world's major airlines. In Country we
travel by deluxe coach and stay in superior 2-star hotels or motels. There
is no overnight coach travel. Our shorter European Tours are by deluxe
coach, and on overnight Ferry Crossings we offer single and twin berth
cabins.
Overseas Enthusiasts are particularly welcome to join us, either in the
UK or directly in the Country being visited. Please ask for our special
"Land Only" prices. In planning our tours we refer to "Aviation
Museums and Collections of the World", a series of excellent books
by Bob Ogden containing comprehensive details of aviation museums; and
"European and World Air Forces Directories" published by Mach
III. Meals are not included in the tour price unless they are part of
the room rate.
