The Dennis Sabre fire engine is woven into the very fabric of the public consciousness as regards to the Fire and Rescue services. And for those who've dreamt of getting behind the wheel of one of them, this awesome new driving thrill package will make that a reality! Hosted exclusively at our Bovingdon Airfield venue, your experience will get underway following your arrival and sign on, with a full safety briefing covering what to expect whilst driving this vehicle. Then, following four sighting laps with the instructor at the wheel of a track taxi, you'll get to climb into the cabin with lights flashing and sirens wailing as you enjoy 8 driving laps with the instructor offering their guidance and encouragement to help you get the most fun out of your drive! Plus, you'll also have a debriefing session in conclusion to cover what you did well and what to improve on for next time.
