Take a seat with a slice of history in this unique opportunity to climb aboard an aerobatic flight in a 1946 vintage French biplane over the Brighton coastline. History only really comes alive when you experience it first hand, and if you’re keen to explore your World War 2 aviation vehicles, this is the experience for you. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this quirky aircraft, not only is it a close cousin to the Tiger Moth but was used throughout WW2 as an aerobatic trainer for the Belgian and French air forces. Although production of this vehicle was halted briefly during the conflict, once France was liberated the state owned manufacturer took up an order of over 700 models of this plane. This is one of them that has survived, and been lovingly restored for you to enjoy a flight in today. Not only will you get to experience a slice of history firsthand but swirl through the skies as you loop the loop in this classic Stampe, as aerobatics are firmly on the cards. For those of you who are keen to get close to history and experience the unique thrills that come with aerobatic flying, this is the flight for you.
