A Day of Style and Speed
The event began with a fleet of luxury BMWs. Guests took the wheel of top-of-the-range models including the BMW XM Red Label, M5 Saloon, i7, iX, i5, and i4.
Each car offered a unique driving experience — powerful, smooth, and undeniably premium.
But that was just the beginning.
Taking Flight in the Bell 429 Simulator
After the drive, it was time to take to the skies.
Our guests stepped into the Bell 429 full-motion flight simulator, one of the most advanced helicopter simulators in the UK.
They flew over stunning landscapes, navigated Blackpool, and experienced the realism of piloting a twin-engine helicopter — all within a safe, immersive environment.
The feedback? Overwhelmingly positive.
Guests were amazed by how real it felt — from the sound of the rotors to the subtle movement of the simulator to mimic how a real helicopter would react.
Some even flew simulated routes back to their own homes, landing in their own gardens. It was a huge hit.
Creating a Premium Experience
This event wasn’t just about fun — it was about collaboration.
We’d like to thank the team at Lloyd Motor Group for choosing HeliSpeed Academy as their destination for this unique experience.
Their guests were a pleasure to host, and we were proud to showcase what our Bell 429 simulator can do.
Special thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success — from our in-house flight instructors to the event teams, videographers, and support staff.
