Alan Ramsden started flying at Shobdon Airfield in 1977 – initially on aeroplanes with a view to becoming a fixed wing instructor. However, after a 5 minute pleasure flight in a B206 JetRanger, where he first experienced the thrill and excitement of helicopter flight, Alan was hooked. He went on to sell his house, his car and his share in the family business in order to raise the funds to become a commercial helicopter pilot and instructor! He founded Tiger Helicopters in 1992 and, together with the Tiger Team, has helped develop both the Helicopter school and Shobdon Airfield. Achievements One of the team's proudest achievements came in 2005 when we acquired our first overseas contract. This was to train the next generation of Police Helicopter Pilots for Kuwait. With a 100% success rate, a further contract to train Police Helicopter Pilots for Algeria was awarded to Tiger. This contract of over 10,000 flying hours, was completed in 2012 without a single accident or incident. We are extremely proud of this and it is a huge credit to all of the Tiger Team. Future Ambition The UK School is growing as the UK’s economy recovers from a difficult recession. We remain firmly committed to our UK school and it is great to see an upturn in students coming through our doors, ready for the excitement and challenge of helicopter flight! Many of our students travel great distances to train with us, which is very humbling. Hopefully it’s because of our world class facilities and excellent instruction. We now offer Helicopter Pilot training to individuals, large companies and Governments. We take individuals from never having flown before, all the way up, to being Commercial Pilots and Flight Instructors. The global demand for helicopter pilots is increasing rapidly. Tiger’s ambition is to keep re-investing in the business to help meet this growing need. Currently our capacity is 60 overseas students as well as a thriving UK school. As for the future? The Sky’s No Limit…!

We offer any private charter you can think of subject to permissions. So, treat yourself to a wedding flight, a personalised sightseeing tour, or a day out to a hotel or restaurant to add to the celebration of your special day or anniversary. Our experienced pilots will give you the best service possible. Our helicopters are able to operate from small, private landing sites, giving you countless possibilities with increased flexibility for your special flight. We can pick you up or drop you off at a range of sites including, but not limited to, airports, hotels and restaurants such as Chewton Glen, New Forest, or The Crazy Bear, Oxfordshire, or even your back garden (size dependent). If you are uncertain as to whether the landing site you require is large enough, we will happily check for you. Charter Details The easiest way to organise your private charter is by contacting our Charter Manager. Please have ready or email us the necessary information and we will work on getting a quote to you as soon as we can: Departure point (specific location) Destination (specific location) Date and time required Number of passengers Passenger weights Any additional requests. In the event that either the destination or departure points are not viable, we will work to find a convenient alternative for you. We will also happily organise champagne and food baskets for your private charter should you require these. Please note that Helicopter Services is approved to operate into Europe, so we can organise a trip such as flying into the Paris heliport and staying in the city for the weekend.
