Experience the ultimate Yorkshire flight in a charming Tiger Moth—perhaps the most unforgettable aerial journey? Depart from Breighton Airfield near Selby for a 60-minute flight over Yorkshire's most iconic sights. Multiple flight routes are available, all packed with landmarks and spectacular views from the open cockpit of the vintage Tiger Moth biplane. Depending on your chosen route, you might fly northward along the River Derwent, passing landmarks like the Yorkshire Air Museum (the UK’s largest independent aviation museum at Elvington Aerodrome) and enjoying a bird’s-eye view of York, including the Minster. Many passengers cherish the flight over Castle Howard, a grand 18th-century estate famous as a filming location for Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’. From the air, its majestic house and gardens look even more impressive. Alternatively, take a southern route from Breighton over Goole Docks, part of the Humber Ports connected to the Humber Estuary and its tributaries, roughly 50 miles from the open sea. You may also spot Spurn Point and the Easington lighthouse. No matter the route, flying in a vintage Moth over the Yorkshire Dales and coast delivers a truly exceptional experience. To make it even more memorable, this package includes an in-flight video—an excellent way to relive and cherish your flight in this charming vintage Tiger Moth.
