About the experience

Step back in time with a vintage de Havilland Chipmunk flight in Lincolnshire, departing from the small and welcoming Fenland Airfield near Spalding. These introductory flying experiences offer a wonderful taste of classic aviation in a truly historic aircraft. Built between 1947 and 1956, the Chipmunk was the trusted post-war training aircraft for the British and Canadian Royal Air Forces. For decades, countless Air Cadets took to the skies for the very first time in this dependable tandem aeroplane, which remained in military service until 1996. Flying from Fenland Airfield in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, these experiences are designed to recreate that same sense of excitement and anticipation felt by generations of trainee pilots. One of the highlights is how close friends and family can get to the aircraft before take-off and after landing, making it easy to capture those unforgettable pre- and post-flight reactions on camera. You will be fitted with a headset to communicate with your pilot and listen in on live radio chatter with the control tower, offering a fascinating insight into the world of flying. Once airborne, it’s easy to see why pilots still adore the “Chippie”. With beautifully balanced handling and graceful performance, it’s a joy to fly in and an unforgettable way to experience the skies.
