About the experience
Experience the thrill of flying in our Tiger Moth at Shoreham, situated near Brighton and Hove. This historic airport, in operation since 1910, is the country's oldest licensed, public-serving airfield, giving you a taste of aviation's golden days. Our Shoreham-based club offers the exciting choice of flying in a Tiger Moth or a Stampe. Both are classic vintage biplanes, and the Stampe, a Belgian-built aircraft, is derived from de Havilland's famous design. While the Tiger Moth has a tail slide and can only land on dry grass runways, the Stampe, with its tailwheel, can land on both hard surfaces and grass. Built in 1946, this post-war model served as a sporting trainer. The Tiger Moth, with the serial number NM137, holds the distinction of being the oldest and longest-serving plane at Shoreham Airport. Originally delivered to the RAF in 1940, it was later used for training and communications. After starting its civilian life as a training plane in 1948, it underwent a significant restoration project in 1991. Now flying under the Southern Aero Club livery with the name 'Spirit of Pashley', in honour of Cecil Pashley, the illustrious Chief Flying Instructor at Shoreham, who logged more than 20,000 hours training budding pilots. We are offering 40-minute flights in these iconic planes. Whether you opt for the Tiger Moth or its closely related cousin, you're in for a sensational aerial adventure over the picturesque West Sussex coast and countryside.

Paul Brockington
Fantastic time
Everyone was brilliant would definitely recommend to anyone
Ruth Williams
I bought this Tiger Moth Flight for my husbands 70th birthday. He absolutely loved it. Everything was very well Organised with efficient friendly staff. He was thrilled that he was able to take the controls for most of the flight as well. I paid for a 60min experience but the whole thing lasted 90mins. Would def recommend - excellent!
Valerie
The whole experience was excellent. Cedric let my husband take the controls a lot of the time. He was very informative and answered my husband’s many questions.
The children and grandchildren could watch the take off behind the fence and then we walked to the cafe to see him come in.
Chester A
I received a voucher for my birthday in April and booked directly with the flying school at Shoreham for a flight in May. My instructor (Cedric) welcomed me and my wife who'd come along to watch. It was a lovely day, and a privilege to be in the air over Sussex in a beautiful veteran Tiger Moth. A great experience!
Anthony Wickham
A wonderful experience, I was actually allowed to fly which was amazing.
Trevor Evans
Excellent.friendly staff and pilot would fully recomend this service
jim
If you are interested in flying an old pioneering type aircraft then this is for you. It was a 70th birthday present for myself and I loved every minute.
Good part was Cedric the pilot who was very accomodating and interesting. Bad part was the 'check-in ' receptionist and the lack of photo opportunities.
But the good outweighed the bad.
I would book longer next time.
Lorna
Really fantastic what a great experience
Jane Robertson
Bought this for my Dad's 90th birthday. He had an amazing time and love every minute of it, remembering back to when he used to fly a Tiger Moth. Ian from Perry air was excellent and ensured Dad was OK every step of the way, and my Dad sang his praises. My daughter is now asking to have the same Tiger Moth flight for her 21st!!
Pam
An amazing experience, from help with making the booking for my flight, to the flight itself. Ian is a thorough professional and very patient with my efforts at flying the Tiger Moth myself. An experience to be repeated as soon as possible!
Robert Aylmore
I couldn't wipe the smile off my face after flying the Tiger Moth with Ian from Perry Air. Perfect day.
Jackie Osgathorp
Absolutey brilliant day.From the moment we arrived meeting Ian and his down to earth great approach,knowledge,professionalism and sense of humour,to looking at the engine, filling it up with oil,getting into the cockpit and then up and away for a sensational fly, as and added bonus a tiger cub came and flew beside us for a little while.
Adrian H
Flew the Tiger Moth with Perry Air at Shoreham. Really enjoyed it despite the wind, a great experience. Pilot Steve was excellent.
Ray Henning
A fantastic day! A truly memorable experience with a very professional operation. I highly recommend this for novice flyers to experience the thrill of real flying on an open cockpit and a tailwheel. Also for older pilots who have only known enclosed cockpits and tricycle undercarriages a blast from the past!
Ray Henning
A fantastic day! Perry Air made me most welcome and provided a very professional and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend them for those wanting to experience flying for the first time or to past pilots wanting to relive the experience of flight.
David Crowhurst
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone.
Brian Diss
The flight itself was a most enjoyable experience. The pilot and his assistant were helpful, friendly and made me and my family welcome. We would definitely recommend this special activity to anyone.
Howell Martyn Evans
A hugely enjoyable experience, presented by experts who are also very friendly. A wonderful aeroplane, all the fun of taking off from a grass strip, and very interesting coastal scenery to be enjoyed from low level. Best of all - of course - is the chance to take the controls. Highly recommended.
James kirkham
On arrival at the hangar we met a very polite and extremely experienced aviator who welcomed us warmly. Turned out he flew Lancaster's many years ago and was an absolute pleasure to talk to. The staff were all pilots who also did the flight line operations with great knowledge and dedication.
The aircraft itself was a beautiful example maintained to a very high standard, one of the cleanest engines bays I have ever seen, and after a quick brief of what switch switches what the novices were strapped for a superb flight around Sussex and given control of the stick to perform some basic flying maneuvers.
A truly wonderful experience made even more special by the unique and charming people who made it all possible.
For Steve
Bought a birthday present and he had a brilliant time! The pilot and plane engineers were very friendly and knowledgeable. They showed him all the different plane elements and took him on a wonderful, enjoyable flight. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much!
Scot Reid
Fantastic 30 minute trip across Sussex. First class pilot who took the time to explain how the plane works and how to control the plane. Well worth it
Crispin Rose-Innes
Great pilot, fabulous Tigermoth, flew the exact flight plan I asked for, east out of Shoreham, past Brighton alnongthe cliffs to Newhaven then inland to Beddingham, a banked 360 over our house and then back west via Devils Dyke and then Shoreham. Quite wonderful! Thank you!
Lynn-Marie Gill
This was for my dad's 70th birthday and something he always dreamed of doing but never thought would happen. Suffice to say the whole experience from the friendly people to the breathtaking flight over the South Downs and Brighton coast accompanied by the most perfect weather, proved to be one he will never forget. Thank you for making such a special day a very memorable one for him and his family.
Adrian
Great experience and friendly people. I thoroughly enjoyed my flight and was lucky enough to experience really good weather. Great views of the south coast too.
Camilla Pennant
A wonderful flight along the coast and up the Cuckmere valley - and I was able to 'have control' which took me back to my flying days. Exciting to be in a WW2 Tiger Moth, one of my best ever birthday presents.

Unfortunately, the bad weather caused the flight to be cancelled but into the blue has extended the e-voucher to allow another flight to be arranged. The member of staff was very courtious and emailed the new voucher immediately.
Holly Freeman
Brilliant experience. Would definitely recommend.
We purchased this tiger moth flight for my fathers 80th birthday as a surprise present. Due to bad weather the flight was rearranged to take place 2 days later than originally planned. the staff at Shoreham airport were extremely helpful and made the experience an unforgettable one for my father. Booking with them was very easy and straight forward. The staff who dealt with my purchase at intotheblue were very helpful as upon request they checked availability of the flight before i purchased the voucher - thank you to all.
Loved every minute
Customer Review from Feefo,

Martin Whittle
It was a great experience and I had the opportunity to fly the Tiger Moth. Staff were really helpful and friendly
John Kelly
Absolutely brilliant experience. I was very pleasantly surprised by the time I was given by instructor Robin who took plenty of time before the flight to explain everything then patiently let me fly around Sussex. I could not have asked for better.
Stephen
Booking my flight was very straightforward. Staff were friendly and efficient. The pilot gave clear instructions and I took control of the plane for about 20 minutes. Overall a brilliant experience and a wonderful birthday present from my family. Highly recommend.
Steve Rashley-Smith
Flight was cancelled several times due to weather but was finally done in September.
Fantastic experience and a great instructor in Cedric.
One to remember!
Marian Parker
This was the most amazing experience. The friendly staff couldn't do enough to make sure that I enjoyed the flight.
Old Git
The pilot was excellent. Very experienced and full of anecdotes. The Tiger Moth was a genuine piece of history from the 1930s. I was very lucky with the weather, the atmosphere was absolutely calm.
