Warbird Flight Experiences
The Nearest Thing to Flying a Spitfire!

Always wanted to fly a Spitfire? Well, this really is the The next best thing to flying a Spitfire - Warbird Experiencesnearest you can get to flying a Spitfire in the UK. Our 1943 North American AT6 Texan (or Harvard as they are known on the UK) was used to train fighter pilots, preparing them for the next step ... into the single seat of a Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, P51 Mustang or similar. Indeed this is still true today - we have trained a number of pilots who then moved on to historic fighters such as the Spitfire and Mustang.

No previous experience or qualificationsare required to savour a nostalgic 20, 25, 30, 40 or 50 minute trial lesson flight experience with our fully qualified instructors in this pristine example of a classic warbird.

The next best thing to flying a Spitfire - Warbird ExperiencesWe offer Gift Vouchers which can include an Aerobatic Flight Experience, Trial Flying Lessons, Type Conversions and Flying Displays. These can be arranged either from our bases as Rochester in Kent, and Sywell in Northampton. We can also arrange bespoke packages for Flying Clubs or Corporate events at many other locations in the UK and Europe.
