Take to the skies aboard the legendary Wacky Wabbit Harvard and experience the thrill of flying in one of the UK's most distinctive warbirds. With vouchers available for an exciting 20-minute flight, this is your chance to enjoy an unforgettable journey in a truly remarkable aircraft. Built as a T-6J Harvard in 1953 by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company, this aircraft was commissioned by the United States Air Force and later sent to Italy as part of the post-war effort to help rebuild European air forces. In 2015, the Harvard's current owners undertook a meticulous restoration, returning the aircraft to prime flying condition. While searching for the perfect identity to match its striking RAF Desert Air Force-inspired colour scheme, they discovered a vintage carrot-eating rabbit emblem used by the British Flying Training School in Florida during the 1940s. Inspired by this piece of aviation history, Wacky Wabbit was born. Today, this unique warbird is a familiar sight in UK skies, captivating aviation enthusiasts with its distinctive nose art, colourful livery and rich heritage. Supported by the passionate pilots, engineers and ground crew of Team Wabbit, the aircraft is maintained to the highest standards and continues to delight passengers on every flight. Book your 20-minute Wacky Wabbit Harvard flight and experience the sights, sounds and excitement of this iconic warbird for yourself.
