Garage offers 'full flight' experience

Professional pilots and amateur beginners have been given the experience of flying a full size Boeing 737 - from a man's garage.

Private pilot Mark Lowen, who has 20 years experience of flying, set up Fly a Flight Ltd at his Leighton Buzzard home.

The flight simulator is a fixed-base Boeing 737 to scale, running full commercial software and hardware for the novice.

It can "fly" from any airport worldwide in any weather day or night.

Mr Lowen said: "We have many various scenarios available for all levels of ability.

"You do not need any previous flying experience to be able to take part."
