Embrace Britain's rich aviation history with a 30 Minute Flight in the iconic Tiger Moth plane from Breighton Airfield in Selby. It's not every day that the opportunity arises to get so close to history and experience it for yourself, so you'll want to snap up a place on this vintage flight across Yorkshire. Tiger Moths were built in Britain to help train pilots in the lead up to WW2, and most enjoyed a fruitful history throughout the conflict. As soon as you take a seat in this historic cockpit, and soak up the smells and sounds of this iconic plane, you'll be transported back to the 1930s and 1940s. With the rumbling engine that will have you soaring through the skies over Yorkshire, and an open cockpit leaving you slightly windswept, you'll get an authentic experience of what daily life was like for RAF pilots in the lead up to the war. What makes this experience even better is that you'll be dressed to the nines in a flying suit, goggles and helmet, not only providing you with some well needed protection from the natural elements but a uniform not too dissimilar to what would have been worn many years ago. If you are fascinated by history and are craving a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an iconic plane that played such a vital role in the last century, you won't want to miss out on this vintage flight from Selby. Hurry, as these spaces do fill up quickly - but everything can be booked with a few clicks online!
