Wingwalking at Dunkeswell

Dunkeswell offers an aviation experience with no window between you and the air. Ethel Dares runs wingwalking flights from the aerodrome, with the participant secured above a biplane’s wing. For someone who has wanted to try it for years, this can give a stay near Upottery a very particular purpose.

A flight to arrange in advance

The operator offers standard and aerobatic options at Dunkeswell. Flight choice matters, especially for a first wingwalk: use the provider’s descriptions and eligibility rules to choose an appropriate experience. The booking process covers passenger requirements, not just payment and a preferred date.

Ethel Dares normally flies here during the warmer part of the year, subject to the weather. Its published calendar has selected operating days, so the airfield is not a walk-in wingwalking attraction. Companions should confirm spectator arrangements with the operator when the participant books.
