An aerial trip back in time awaits on this 40 minute flight in a carefully restored vintage biplane, available to get up in the sky in at our biggest range of UK based aerodromes and airfields! Long associated with RAF pilots of the 1930s and 1940s in training, small but mighty biplanes such as the Tiger Moth and Stampe have continued to hold a captive audience for generations. So imagine the excitement of either you or the vintage aviation enthusiast in your life, as they get strapped into the seat of an iconic biplane, getting ready on the grass runway as the ‘swinging the prop’ to get the engine started commences! In no time at all, you’ll take off and up into the sky, and the rush as you glance out the cockpit to look over the side of the propeller is like nothing you’ll have experienced with any modern aircraft. And as your pilot will demonstrate, just a gentle simple turn in mid-air is enough to bring these planes out to their very best - and even more exciting is the opportunity to have some other incredible moves demonstrated to you as well!
