people have already booked their place in history!
Space is the ultimate destination, a place beyond Earth where one
can truly experience the vastness, beauty and true wonder of the
universe.
Through man's discovery of space, we can better understand ourselves,

the universe. In an unprecedented sensory experience, rocket motors
will boost the RLV beyond the normal limits of flight to regions
above 62 miles (100 kms). As the RLV nears maximum altitude, the
rocket engines will be shut down and you will experience up to
five minutes of continuous weightlessness and see the vast blackness
of space set against the blue limits of Earth below.

Departs from Cork, Ireland The first ever manned deep sea dives
to the wreck of the German Battleship Bismarck. By 800 ft all traces
of sunlight will be gone and you will be in total darknes. Remember
to look for tiny bioluminescent creatures who manage to live at
these depths. At 4,000 ft the interior of the MIR will start to
cool and at 15,000 ft you finally reach to wreck site. Words cannot
describe what your eyes see through the glass of the MIR as you
expore the Bismarck. But remember nothing will be taken except
photographs, videos and memories. You will journey to the wreck
of the Bismarck aboard the MIR I and MIR II submersibles, vessels
capable of reaching ocean depths of 20,000 ft (6,000m) giving them
the capability of visiting nearly all of the ocean floor worldwide.
Housed aboard the mother ship 'Akademik Keidysh' the MIR's are
part of only 5 manned deep diving submersibles available worldwide.
NO AVAILABILITY UNTIL 2005. Following a final briefing you will
enter the submersible and a crane will lift the MIR into the cold
waters of the North Atlantic. You will decend at a rate of 31m
per minute.
Lit by the submersible's powerful lights you look at the remains
of the Bismarck. The main part is surprisingly intact, although
it shows obvious signs of the large scale damage wrought by the
pounding of the British shells. Part of the stern has broken away
and the main gun turrets are missing. many of the smaller guns
are still in place. The bridge area was largely blown away but
the remaining superstructure is intact but damaged. Some of the
wooden planks are still visisble on the deck. High tech video equipment
will record your experience. Each individual dive will last about
11-12 hours. The site of the Bismarck is considered a historic
grave site and no salvaging will occur during this expedition.
Nothing will be taken other than photos, videos and memories.
Your 13 day experience includes the following: accomodation and
meals on the Akademik Keldysh, two hotel overnights in a twin share
room in Cork (the expedition commences and ends in Cork), transfers
to & from the ship, and all activities with in the programme. Not
included is transportation to / from Cork, visa and passport charges.

Azores Unknown until 1493 when Christopher Columbus arrived in
the Azores now you too can be an explorer! Near the Azores, 7,875
feet (2,400m) below the ocean surface, lie the Rainbow Vents a
field of tall sediment chimneys in constant eruption mode. Like
smokestacks, these billowing black smokers blast minerals several
feet up into the cool Atlantic waters. Beyond its geological significance,
the site is a biological wonderland of alien marine life. Vast
colonies of white crabs blind shrimp, mussels, clams, ribbony fish
and tubeworms populate the deep-ocean Ecosystem. Your Buyagift
expedition begins on dry land, where you'll first explore the lush
green valleys surrounding the dormant volcanoes of the islands.
Then you and your fellow travellers will be among the first adventurers
to descend to the depth of the sea floor via sophisticated submersibles
to view the fascinating hydrothermal vents, and to witness the
birthplace of a planet. MIR pilots have explored the numerous active
vent fields throughout the world and in 1998 they worked in the
Rainbow area. As the submersible enters the field you will soon
discover the origin of the name. Shimmering patterns of superheated
water abound as vents breathe into the cold seawater (34?F/1?C).
Black smokers belch out plumes of dark stygian elements. Mineral
deposits spewed onto the seafloor surrounding the vents offer a
beautiful kaleidoscope of colour. A recent lava flow will produce
pillow lava formations - Mother Earth's new crust, fresh from the
oven. Especially important are robust and diverse life forms crowding
these rare vents. Here are some of the oldest life forms on Earth,
unknown to man until just two decades ago, ready to be seen and
captured on film for later reflection. Only a few select scientists
have ever witnessed the beauty and mystery of these deep-sea geysers
up close.
Without sunlight, a process known as chemosynthesis allows the
food chain to thrive, sustaining thes

Moscow, Russia The view from the front seat at 80,000 feet is
breathtaking, with the darkness of space right overhead. Very few
people have seen the Earth from a breathtaking vista of 82,000ft(25
kms)! From the cockpit of a MiG-25, your view directly overhead
fades into the darkness of space - you are literally on the edge
of space . Below you, the curvature of the Earth is awesomely apparent,
and the horizon is 715 miles that's nearly 1100km across. Flying
at Mach 2.5, or one mile every two seconds, a trip in the MiG-25
Foxbat is a unique flight mission that is the closest most people
get being an astronaut. The price is a guide only and is subject
to US$ currency fluctuations.
Price includes: 2 nights stay B&B at a luxury downtown Moscow hotel,
genuine leather flight jacket, round trip transfers between international
airport and hotel, VIP airport customs and immigration processing
on arrival, round trip transportation between hotel and Zhukovskiy
Air Base with English-speaking guide, framed photograph of you
with your pilot and aircraft, display-quality model of your aircraft,
flight planning, training, medical check and 30 minute flight.
Why not have your wife or husband accompany you for only an additional £620
Please email info@buyagift.co.uk for further information or call
our customer services team on 07002 892 443. Flights are available
on most weekdays throughout the year, however due to the special
equipment, flight pressure suit and helmet, some conditions apply
such as weight and height limitations.
THE BIG QUESTION - WHAT IS IT LIKE?
æ
After the ground crew has strapped you in, the canopy is shut around
you. This is it, you're ready to go. The pilot behind you starts
the aircraftÆs twin engines and performs his safety checks whilst
they warm for a few minutes, then she taxis out onto the end of
the runway, the longest in the world. After a few more minutes
of checks , he opens the throttle still sitting on the brakes.
You really are going now. The aircraft jumps forward as the brakes
are released, the afterburners coming on with twin tails of orange
flames giving renewed urge to the rapidly increasing speed. After
a few more seconds, smooth take off, accelerating towards Mach
1 all the time. A couple of gentle 360 degree rolls bring a renewed
surge of adrenaline and excitement. Quickly through the sound barrier
and heading towards Mach 2 your pilot is just about to pull the
stick back. The climb to altitude is quick, within 10 minutes the
voice in your headset will start counting off the kilometres, 20,
21, 22,23,24 and finally 25 kilometress altitude, above 99% of
the atmosphere. The sky will be black, the Earth curving away below
you, the atmosphere a thin blue line glowing on the horizon. There
is only space beyond. You will be one of the fastest travelling,
highest flying humans . You can take photos and videos before your
even more rapid descent, but only pulling 2Gs maximum, a final
roll over the airfield, turn and land.Æ http://www.buyagift.co.uk/Images/product/large/1036Mig25InPlane.jpg

Church Enstone, Oxfordshire (Midlands / South East) A Toyota
Corolla rear wheel drive rally car & a National Rally Champion.
All yours for a whole day! (Oxfordshire) During this intensive
rallying session your instructor will take you from whatever level
of ability you start the session with and push you to, and often
beyond, your limits. There's no need for any prior experience as
this course is built around your individual requirements.
You can even share the whole experience with up to two friends
on the on the day if you wish. The first session in the car will
be with the instructor demonstrating the theory. Your first stint
behind the wheel will deal with the technique of steering and throttle
balance.
Further time will then be spent perfecting the techniques around
the rally stage, as used by several World Rally Championship Teams
for testing.
The final driving session will be under the pressure of the stopwatch.
The instructor will act purely as a Co-driver, giving only directional
advice.
Full day of drving, up to 100miles in total. The Price Includes
Personal Accident Insurance and Lunch.
The instructor will be a current or former National Rally Champion
(subject to availability) who is expert in teaching the correct
techniques demanded by this exhilarating sport.
Mileage completed will vary from driver to driver, but as a rough
guide it may be possible to cover up to 150 miles worth of rallying,
this represents nearly three times the mileage that would be completed
on the average national forest rally.
The agenda includes:
Aa short safety and technique briefing, to maximise driving time,
and the emphasis during the day will be firmly on you driving the
car. During the day you will alternate between driving and short
classroom style sessions where progress will be constantly reviewed
and new goals set as old ones are achieved.
Height Restriction 6'4
Weight Restriction 18st.
An assessment will also be made on the driver's technique.
Spectators are permitted, free of charge, but under 17's must be
