Why buy from us?
Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as you take to the skies alongside a Spitfire! Departing from Headcorn and North Weald airfields, these thrilling passenger flights offer you the unique opportunity to fly alongside the iconic WW2 fighter plane. The Spitfire holds a special place in the hearts of many as a symbol of the Second World War and a tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. During the 40-minute flight, you'll accompany a Spitfire in the air as a passenger in a plane or helicopter. This is no ordinary passenger flight – you'll be escorted by the magnificent Spitfire, cruising over the skies of Essex or Kent. Your pilot will guide you as the tension builds, letting you know when to look left or right as the Spitfire gracefully swoops alongside your aircraft. The sight of the formidable Spitfire will leave you breathless, seemingly within arm's reach. Take a moment to compose yourself before capturing some of the most incredible air-to-air photos, seizing the opportunity to be in unprecedented proximity to this iconic aircraft in flight. Both Headcorn (Lashenden) and North Weald are former RAF air bases with rich histories. Headcorn saw hundreds of missions flown by Spitfires and Mustangs during the height of the war between 1942 and 1943, and today it houses a fascinating wartime museum. North Weald has a history dating back to 1916, witnessing the evolution of aircraft from WW1 planes to Cold War jet fighters, with stunning views of London. Flying alongside a Spitfire will take you through the very skies that bore witness to countless dogfights during the Battle of Britain. Imagining the intense aerial battles with Spitfires and Hurricanes defending the British shores against the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitts adds a profound appreciation for these treasured sorties. It's a remarkable opportunity to reflect on the experiences of the young RAF pilots who once flew these incredible aircraft. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of history and experience the thrill of flying alongside a legend.
