Not only will you get to grips with flying one of these iconic trainer planes, but be surrounded by wartime aviation history. As soon as you set foot on the soil of Breighton Airfield you’ll be part of a history that dates back to the war years where this site was a heavy bomber base and then into the 1950s, was prepared for a cold war missile launch site! Nowadays, it honours this rich history by specialising in vintage flying experiences like this Tiger Moth flight. For 60 minutes, alongside an expert, you’ll be flying across the Yorkshire skies in this open cockpit vintage plane once used to train pilots throughout WW2.
