Dragonfly Aviation is a UK CAA Declared Training Organisation specialising in advanced and post-licence helicopter training from bases at Turweston Aerodrome and Preston Capes Airfield. Rather than providing ab initio PPL(H) training, the organisation focuses on introductory flights, military helicopter type ratings, conversion courses and specialist experiences in the historic Westland Scout and Westland Wasp helicopters, giving qualified pilots access to aircraft rarely available in civilian operation.
Led by experienced helicopter instructor and examiner Captain Mark Cowley, Dragonfly Aviation offers tailored training programmes including full type ratings, taster flights and military-themed experience courses that combine ground school with hands-on flying. Its unique fleet and specialist expertise make it a distinctive destination for licensed helicopter pilots seeking advanced training, military aircraft conversions or an opportunity to fly iconic British helicopters in a professional training environment.
