Sarah
Wow what an amazing,experience!
The flight was exhilarating and despite being nervously excited about it Jeremy,my pilot, was really fun and put me at ease. I was able to fly the craft myself for a while which is most definitely worth a try!
Duxford airfield itself was awesome, so much to see and do, a fantastic day out for all the family.
I would thoroughly recommend.
Mr. David Raishbrook
The experience was first class. My pilot Andrew was very informative regarding what we were flying over. The bonus was having a video taken during the flight. I would certainly recommend the experience to anyone who asks about it.
Del
What a great day out, it was a gift that was meant to be done earlier but C-19 hit. Staff adjusted my date no issues. All member of staff were fantastic especially Jeremy the pilot, we had a brill time in a Tigermoth. Would recommend this to anyone.
John Williams
My flight was bought by my family for my 70th birthday.
It was an amazing day. Unforgettable.
Fantastic pilot (Jeremy).
Mike Harrison
Despite a slight delay, I had an amazing pilot, although I suspect the briefer thought I might be concerned and simply stated "your pilot is very experienced and has flown all over the world". I certainly wasn't expecting to hear "My name is Amanda". That made it all even more special and I considered it amazing to have flown with her!!!
Mehmet Ilter
My flight in the Tiger Moth was a surprise 70th birthday present and I had the best time ever. I can honestly say I will remember it for the rest of my life and would recommend it to anyone. Everything was perfect, even the weather, and the pilot that took me up was brilliant.
Pete Lowen
Wonderful staff. Very professional and still very friendly. Whole experience was amazing, helped no doubt by the incredible weather which was apparently arranged too!
Mike
Everything went well and an enjoyable day out was achieved
graham
enjoyed every minute of it, would recommend to anyone thinking of it. thank you,
Peter Maynard
It was my 70th birthday present, delayed from 2020 because of Covid. All the arrangements were easy and all went well on the day. Had an excellent flight over Cambridge college buildings and the views were very interesting. Communication with the instructor was a bit difficult because of the noise of the engine about a yard in front of me but not really surprising. Went on to have a fascinating visit to IWM. Great day!!
Stuart
What an experience, and the setting at Duxford exceptional
Paul Greener
I had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed my tigermoth flight, which was a birthday present. The instructor/pilot was excellent and let me fly for most of the flight, which was a surprise but made the experience for me. The weather on the day was a bit hit and miss, but we got off in between showers and I received several text updates from IntoTheBlue throughout the day keeping me informed of how things were looking, which allowed me to get on with enjoying the museum until the weather cleared sufficiently. I highly recommend IntoTheBlue, and am now considering one of their other flight experiences as they have several to choose from - and all look great!
Rod Kerr
I had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed the flight in a Tigermoth. The flight was a gift for a "special" birthday, and was my first time in an open cockpit or a biplane. I had a go at flying the aircraft, and the weather for the flight was perfect. There was a delay in take-off due to strong cross-winds, but I explored the superb museum at Duxford until I was contacted to get ready for the flight. Brilliant!
Alan Oliver
This was bought as a 60th birthday present. Together with the IWM Duxford Museum experience a wonderful lifetime experience that to be honest will be hard to beat. Excellent communication throughout the day, including good instructions/ reassurance because of the poor weather in the morning. Flight briefing and the flight itself was unbelievable. Thanks to all.
Alan Lovett
Great experience, first time in open cockpit.
Downside was aircraft parked some way from viewing area therefore family unable to get clear view, also intercom not very clear so difficult to hear pilot
Keith Blunden
A great experience!
Debbie Reavell
I bought the flight as a present for my husband. He really loved it especially being permitted to take control of the plane for part of the flight. It was totally worth it to see how happy it made him and the smile on his face when he got out at the end!!
Paul Smith
A brilliant experience, staff were all very helpful and would recommend to anyone!
Bill Gunn
Quite an experience. I did not know what to expect but it was really great. Quite windy and noisy, bit like being on a solo but not being able to see where you are going! Bit bumpy because of the wind which made it that bit more exciting. The instruments seemed to be a bit unpredictable in my seat and one of the needles was not attached, no problem as I did not need them!! Bill Gunn
Jim
A really enjoyable flight - everything was well organised and efficient.
alan Alexander
Having tried for some three years to get up in a Tiger Moth on a Dambuster Flight Experience with the now closed Blue Eye Aviation - Darley Moor - Derbyshire flights being continually cancelled due to weather or unserviceable aircraft, it was with some relief my first attempt with Classic Wings from Duxford was successful! That said the experience in flying in the open cockpit of the vintage Tiger Moth was truly amazing and this really is flying! Not the sterile, mundane, run of the mill Boeing/Airbus tedium. You really do feel the wind beneath your wings.
C.B. Garden
I looked forward to the day for quite a long time. It was'nt cheap at £219 for half an hour, but my flight with pilot Brian was really memorable,; my last Tiger flight having been in 1956. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased the DVD of my experience for a further £50... The DVD arrived within the month and I was able to retrieve it from the Post Office Sorting Office for just £2, in lieu of the sender putting a 'small parcel' stamp on it.... Recommend? Flight, Yes. DVD @ £52? No!
David Marsh
it was one great day for me
Mark Doyle
This 30 minute bi plane flight experience was just amazing. The staff at the airfield were friendly and helpful. The flight and the pilot were excellent. Well worth every penny would recommend this to anyone who want to just be up there in the great outdoors with the thrill of touching a bit of history at the same time. SUPERB !!!
terry o'brien
the pilot was very friendly, helpful and encouraging when I was flying the plane.
Mr Brian Sims
Fantastic experience and great that I was allowed to fly the plane for a while as well, we had great day all round. We were so fortunate that we chose a date two days before a big air show, so had the experience of watching two spitfires in practice as well, what a bonus thank you
Michael Coe
Well organised and well run operation. Booking was simple and the experience on the day superb.
Adam Makewell

jan fryer
Had an amazing flight, very well organised a good day at Duxford all round.
teresa conradie
Flight was great but £3.99 for a gift which was only a box is definitely a rip off
Celia
Absolutely fantastic experience, can't wait to do it again. Booking was very easy and friendly, staff were great. Weather was poor (good old England!) but the pilot still made sure I had a great flight - I'm definitely doing it again. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Stuart Clark
Perfect from start to finish.
Alan Payne
Excellent, staff were good and well briefed. you were not flown you did the flying. brilliant flight thoroughly recommend.
Tony Raymond
An ambition fulfilled on an excellent day, might have to do it all again,YES!
Ian Hedges
What an excellent present from my family for my 60th Birthday. The team at Duxford were great and the flight was wonderful, thanks to the pilot who gave me all the confidence to take control! I only I had been able to do this when I was younger?? We even had a Spitfire fly across our path and that made my day.
The DVD is full wonderful memories and well worth having as it will last forever.
Thanks to Viv, Andrew, Jo and of course all at intotheblue and Duxford! I would do it and again and so could you.
Leslie Weidman
It was a brilliant day the staff were fantastic it all went so smoothly well worth the money a day full of happy memories an ideal present for a 90 year old father and grandad thank you all so much.
Alison Richardson
From the moment I arrived to the end I was treated so well by all the staff. I was given a preflight briefing and then we were away, into the blue. The views were beautiful and the engine noise, the fresh air and the chance to fly the plane myself made it the most amazing, unforgettable day. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
Phil Goody
What a wonderful day. As this was my first time I was really surprised at the noise until the pilot throttled back. I don't think I would make a pilot! To see all the fields and houses was very interesting a first class organisation. Thank You.
phil
very good thoroughly enjoyed the experienced
Kelvin Rogers
What an awsome experience. Everyone made the whole day truly memorable. I was lucky enough to find my pilot was a lady who clearly loves the Tiger Moths and sharing her passion for flying with others.
Thanks Amanda. Watch out I might be back for more.
Peter
Great experience and well worth it especially if you are interested aviation
Richard M Wilson
I had a thoroughly enjoyable day out which exceeded my expectations. I have arthritis and Parkinson's disease; the staff could not have been more helpful assisting me to enter and leave the aircraft and the flight itself was a delightful and exciting experience.
Dean Cutting
I had a fantastic time, staff very helpful and reassuring, Derek the Pilot was also very reassuring and knowledgeable.
Even had a bonus of seeing a Spitfire flying around us and then a police helicopter stopping to refuel.
An absolute fantastic day.
Thank You
Dean Cutting
Peter Beasley
An enjoyable and exciting experience. Flying in a bi-plane had been a life-time ambition - being allowed to take control of the aircraft for a few moments was an added bonus.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, whilst remaining professional throughout.
The opportunity to visit the Duxford IWM was an added bonus.
Overall a memorable day for myself and my family.
basil sargeant
It was a great experience
Alf Britchford
Booking was very easy. After I made the initial booking I had to change the date - the staff at Duxford were very helpful and, again, it was a very easy process.
On the day the staff were very helpful giving clear instructions and making the whole process very smooth.
The actual flight was excellent. Flying in an aircraft built in 1940 complete with leather flying jacket, helmet and goggles was just a great experience.
Jackie McKenna
We took my 90 year old Dad to Duxford last saturday for his 'tigers and tanks' experience. He had a great day although my daughter took his turn for the tank driving which I think was just as well as it sounded as though he would not have managed it and it might have been an idea to take his age into account when selling this experience. However the tiger moth flight and the trip in the Dragon Rapide he loved. The staff were friendly and helpful and all in all he certainly had a day to remember.
Joy Gower
Fabulous time - would recommend to others. Everyone was lovely - staff and pilots included - the flight in the tiger moth was magical! Thanks to all.
Brendan OSullivan
Had a fantastic time very professional never once felt nervous a trip in a Tiger Moth should be on everyone's bucketlist
Denise Ashcroft
Really friendly staff at the office. Got to borrow leather flying jacket, goggles and that! Had briefing by member of staff before being escorted to tiger moth plane outside. After climbing n cockpit was buckled up and checked out before take off. Craig, my pilot was brilliant and let me take the controls for a minute or so. Fantastic experience which I would definitely do again!!
Chris Jones
Really friendly people running the event. The pilot was also very friendly, informative and willing to let me have a go at flying the Tiger Moth. Great job guys and great fun!
H Daish
Very professionally organised. Helpful and friendly staff who obviously enjoy what they do. With 3 Tigers and a Rapide operating together, it was a busy operation but they still had time to treat each customer and their family as individuals
Ron Davy
A fantastic flight and at a great venue the IWM Duxford. plenty to see you need a complete day there
peter martin
my flight in the Tiger Moth was from Duxford in Cambridgeshire. A great day out and visit to imperial war museum . Flight in the Tiger Moth
was amazing .The opportunity to take control is to be remembered for a long time .Would certainly do it again.
Bill Flannery.
The experience of the flight was quite amazing. The politeness of the staff was second to none. Dan (The pilot) was
very professional when advising you on how to take control of the aircraft. This is a must for anyone that would like to fly in a vintage aircraft like the Tiger moth. My only negative is the cost of the DVD
which costs £45 for a 15 minute recording.
David wright
Great customer service, well organised and a great experience
Kevan
I found the whole experience of flight and visit to the museum a brilliant day out and one to remember for many years. The Tiger Moth behaved impeccably and it was great to be able to take control of such an historic biplane. Compliments to the ground crew, staff and pilot who were all very friendly and helpful.
rob
great experience, a must do.
would have bought dvd of the flight but at £45 way too expensive
richard chadwick
fantastic...run by enthusiasts and it shows, nothing is to much trouble.. chance to get a dvd and photo done as well if you like and if they can you can get extra flight time...don't think about it just book it.
Mark Norris
I thoroughly enjoyed my flight in the Tiger Moth. The ground crew and pilot were most helpful and put us nervous first time novice aviators at ease. The time in the air went by quickly and Steve my pilot was very patient with my time at the controls of his precious vintage aircraft. I am looking forward to my next flying experience with baited breath!
Mike Hoyer
Fantastic experience. Really enjoyed it. Would recommend to any one to do.
Phl
Very smooth operation. Good instructor and a lot of fun trying to keep it in a straight line. Bring your wallet for the photo & cockpit video.
Keith Wiggins
I had a very enjoyable time. I flew the Tiger Moth for far longer than I anticipated. The entire staff including my pilot were very welcoming and helpful and I don't see how it could have been improved. I can highly recommend this experience.
Barry Maunder
Magnificent, truly an experience to remember. The ground crew were so proficient and instructive by the time I climbed into the aircraft I felt as if I already had flying experience. Tony the pilot was equally laid back and filled me full of confidence. To actually fly a Tiger Moth was beyond my dreams. So some dreams do come true. Thanks Tony for a wonderful time. Thanks to all at "INTO THE BLUE" for making it so special.
a prior
The best time ever
Tony Warnes
Excellent. Great to be back in the air after 10 years. Friendly service and advice from all on the day. Thanks Pete, and thanks Tim for experience in the air
Michael Beal
Very good experience overall, I felt to be in good and safe hands, friendly good humoured staff. Pity health and safety do not permit loop the loop and barrel rolls, I would have loved that. Never mind!
James Boyce
Hello . I had an absolutely marvellously time. My host Dave was really funny and instructive, making myself and another man feel at ease.
Everyone worked so hard to make the flights memorable one .
Having waited over 50 years to fly in a biplane I can only say it was well worth the wait. I am sorry I cannot remember my pilots name (he is a BA pilot ) but he was so calm and very informative ,and taking the controls of this venerable old lady was absolutely marvellous !
Thank you all very much for making my day so brilliant !
Regards to you all Jim Boyce . East Cowes Isle Of Wight
andrew.watton
brilliant flying day long drive but well worth it
Stephen Pryce
Absoulutely Brilliant! I totally loved the whole experience flying in the Tiger Moth bi-plane. I didn't realise I would be allowed to take control and actually 'fly' the aircraft (I had expected it would simply be a passenger flight experience.) The whole staff and pilot at Classic wings were very friendly. Everything was explained very well so that when the time came I knew exactly what to do. I would thoroughly recommend this experience to my friends and anyone who likes the idea of flying, especially in a vintage bi-plane. I also found the whole day at Duxford Air Museum very enjoyable and very interesting. It is a wonderful facility and Classic Wings do a fantastic job of providing the real flight experience to those who are interested. The 'in cockpit' photo is a great momento to remember the day by and I Iook forward to seeing the DVD footage of my flight when it arrives. Thank you all for giving such a marvellous experience!
Christopher Leworthy
Very good and came away feeling that 15 mins was too short
Customer Review from Feefo,
Service rating - excellent: A nicely presented package arrived promptly in the post with all the information required to book up.Product rating - excellent: Faultless and friendly service and advice from everyone I spoke to and the team at Duxford IWM. The biplane flight itself....I can't wait to go again!
Customer Review from Feefo,
Service & product rating - excellent: Even if you are thinking about doing this just do it! Its the best experience ever. I loved every minute of it. I did it at Duxford, so you have the added bonus of the great air museum. Do it before an air display weekend and you might have the experience of seeing lots of Spitfires, even an ME109 beating up the sky like we did!
Customer Review from Feefo,
Service rating - excellent: received voucher within a couple of days. Efficient and professional serviceProduct rating - excellent: a fantastic experience, a great way to celebrate my 50th. Would recommend it to anyone. We had a lovely day all in all, spent the day at Duxford IWM an incredible place with such helpful and friendly staff and the flight in a Tiger Moth just topped it all off. Fantastic!
Jonathan Lewis
What can I say, it was on my bucket list and just thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.
Jacquie
The most AMAZING experience!! I loved every minute of it. I was a little anxious when I took control of the plane, as I am very short, and despite having a booster cushion to sit on, I couldn't really see the horizon except by tilting my head sideways and looking down the side of the nose of the plane. This did not impact on my enjoyment of the experience, and I would love to do it all again. WOW, WOW, WOW !!!!!
W I H
Great fun - provided you have practised patting your head and rubbing your tummy like you did as a kid - for 'only' forward/back and then side/side stick movements all at the same time! It would help if you had the late Marty Feldman's diverging eyes to watch both wings simultaneously. My pilot was very patient with endless nudges (++). Then he went quiet! The video, bought as a post mortem, explained it all - he was then waving his hands well off the control stick: apparently ... 'I did have (some) control'! PS They did get their pilot and 'plane back intact! (& me too).

Unfortunately on the day of my Tiger Moth Biplane Flight (3rd July 2024),my birthday,the Tigers were grounded due to crosswinds!What saved my ‘face in the soup’ with disappointment was a short flight in the beautiful old De Havilland Dragon Rapide!My wife flew too and we thoroughly enjoyed it.The guys in the Classic Wings hut and pilot of the Rapide were brilliant!They appreciated the fact we’d come from Scotland for the special flying experience!

Russell Cook

A very charming way to spend an afternoon. People were helpful and friendly. The photograph is reasonably priced, but should really have been included.The video on the other hand was over priced. These are the reasons for not giving 5 stars.
Richard Jones

Brilliant experience. The pilot was very good and informative and it was an adventure to remember
Simon Frankum

A fabulous day was had on my flight day at Duxford, I was the first of the day so had a the added bonus of sitting in the airplane while preparing to start the engine hence understanding the complexity of priming and contact process of hand starting. My Instructor whose name I have sadly forgotten was very informative while taxiing, after taking off I took hold of the joy stick and flew for a good 50% of my flight. This plane was an amazing experience that I can’t praise enough. Fantastic organisation from start to finish highly recommended.

An excellent 40 minutes spent above Cambridge in this lovely plane. Thoroughly recommend it, friendly and informative ground crew who made you feel at ease before the flight. All over far too quickly.
Jeremy White
01 October 2024
Had a fabulous afternoon at Duxford, with Classic Wings and my 40 minute Tiger Moth flight. My father had learnt to fly in Tiger Moths back in 1941, so reliving that experience whilst wearing his wartime flying jacket was a real treat. Thanks to my pilot and ground crew for making it such a memorable day.
Jim Fuller
18 October 2024
The Tiger Moth flight was amazing. From the moment I arrived I was impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm in the Duxford team. However, nothing prepares you for the flying experience. It was sensational. What a great little plane!
Taking control from the pilot was nerve-wracking but I am so grateful that he persuaded me to do it. Then he showed me what this little plane can do; a truly immersive experience.
I will do this again for sure.
Tom Scott
21 October 2024
Helpful and efficient booking staff to arrange the flight.
Staff on the day at Duxford also. Flight was able to be brought forward which was very helpful.
Perfect day for flying, ground crew was very helpful and informative as was the pilot instructor.
Had a great time.....all over too quickly.
Only comment to add, it was apparent that there were many time slots available during the day (completely blank sheet from late morning) which enabled an earlier flight time which helped us enormously, as we had over 2 hour journey to and from Duxford but at the time of booking only one was available for allocation at 4.45pm.
Mike Clarke
23 October 2024
Well what can I say it was just brilliant a truly amazing experience.
I found out how my father felt flying the tiger moth.
The pilot mark was exceptional I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
I thank you very much.
