About the experience

Fulfil your dream of flying in an iconic Spitfire with this unforgettable 30 Minute ‘West Country’ experience from Compton Abbas Airfield in Dorset. Operated by Aero Legends, your adventure takes place aboard a magnificent two-seater Spitfire from the picturesque Compton Abbas Airfield, perched on a chalk hilltop within Cranborne Chase. Its fantastic location makes it the perfect starting point for discovering the beautiful West Country from the air. Once airborne, experience the unmistakable thrill of flying in one of Britain’s most legendary aircraft as you soar across the stunning Dorset countryside. Your flight will typically take you towards Shaftesbury before looping back towards Compton Abbas Airfield. With unrestricted airspace to explore, there may even be an opportunity to experience some thrilling aerobatic manoeuvres if conditions allow and you’re feeling adventurous. Best of all, you could have the chance to briefly take the controls and experience what it’s like to fly a Spitfire for yourself. The Aero Legends fleet includes NH341 ‘Elizabeth’, a beautifully restored Spitfire with an impressive military history, now configured as a two-seater and ready to take to the Dorset skies. From the roar of the engine to the incredible views from the cockpit, this 30 Minute ‘West Country’ Spitfire experience promises an unforgettable taste of aviation history and a flight you’ll remember long after touching back down.
