Why buy from us?

Gary Child
Absolutely brilliant a tick off the bucket list, to see the world's most iconic plane so close in mid air is amazing. Really recommended
Ian Comley
A fantastic experience.
Robert Webb
A superb experience well organised with friendly staff Would love to do it again
Gary Child
Absolutely a fabulous experience, I flew next to a spitfire in a helicopter, to see an icon of an aeroplane so close in mid air was amazing, it really brings a lump to your throat and would really recommend anyone thinking of doing this to get booked ASAP, parky the spitfire pilot was on top of his game and explained everything he was going to do before we took off, I for one will certainly be doing this again in the near future.
