CLICK HERE to sign up and Wing Walk with Mountbatten Hampshire in 2026 

Take to the Isle of Wight's skies with Mountbatten Hampshire's 2025 Wing Walk and raise vital funds for your local hospice, on 14 August.

This summer, whether you are part of team, taking on a challenge with colleagues or flying solo, Mountbatten Hampshire has a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you.

Will you soar through the skies over the beautiful Isle of Wight in support of 24/7 end-of-life care, delivered in patients' homes across large parts of Hampshire and in our hospice in Southampton's West End? 

We are working alongside specialist company Ethel Dares Wing Walking to provide this incredible experience. 

*Restrictions on numbers and inclement weather may require some changes. We will notify you in advance if this is the case. 

What can I expect from my Wing Walk with Mountbatten Hampshire?

Taking to the skies from Sandown Airport, on the east coast of the beautiful Isle of Wight, you will be safely strapped on, standing on top of a stunning vintage bi-plane.

You will be airborne for around eight minutes while you circle above Sandown's airfield, overlooking the English Channel and the south coast.

Your friends and family can watch from the ground and thanks to the bright red paint of the Ethel Dares plane, you will be easy to spot.
