UK Paramotor Channel Crossing – Veterans Tribute

UK Paramotor Channel Crossing – Veterans Tribute & Guinness World Record Attempt.

The Plan

A dedicated group of UK paramotor pilots will fly in mass formation from Calais to Dover, setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest formation of paramotors to cross the Channel.

The flight will culminate in a spectacular arrival over the White Cliffs of Dover – the largest aerial formation over this historic landmark since WWII. Special permission has been secured from the National Trust to land on the cliffs, where pilots will meet the press and public.

The event will feature:

40+ paramotor pilots in +500m wide delta formation, led by our flying car,

2x 500ft Union Jacks and sponsor flags flown proudly at the heart of the formation.

A jet paramotor demonstration by Allan Hewitt’s Jet Team (Tom Cruise’s stunt coordinator), joining the formation over the cliffs.

Why We Fly

This event honours our fallen pilots and supports our veterans – men and women who risked everything in service to our country, but too often face homelessness and neglect.

By bringing national attention to their plight, we demand action and recognition for our heroes, while uniting the public in remembrance and gratitude.
