What is a Spitfire?
The Spitfire is a single seat fighter aircraft, used by the RAF during World War II. Reaching speeds of up to 582 km/h, the Spitfire played a vital role in helping Britain during the Second World War.
What is a Spitfire Experience?
A Spitfire experience is an experience like no other. We have put together a superb range of Spitfire experiences to give you the chance to take to the skies in one of Britain's most famous and historical planes. A Spitfire experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You will be able to get into the historical aircraft, seeing the mesmerising plane up close, getting an understanding of what it was like to be a fighter pilot during the Second World War.
You will be flown over your chosen location, not only getting a stunning view of the world below but also coming to grips with the sensation buzz and thrill of what it is like to be in such a powerful plane. Despite being over 70 years old, you will be astonished at how agile and fast this plane is. A Spitfire experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity; something to remember forever.
Flights in a Spitfire Plane
There's another reason of course, a Flight in a Spitfire is held in such high regard; not just because of their crucial involvement in the Battle of Britain efforts, but also because of how increasingly rare they are now becoming with each passing year. Indeed, the ratio of avid enthusiasts to airworthy Spitfires is greatly polarised.
Of the 240 that are known to exist, just 60 of these are believed to be airworthy, with 70 on permanent display - such as those at the Heritage Hangar at RAF Biggin Hill Airport or the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, for example - and the remaining 110 either in storage or undergoing active restoration.
It's therefore not every day that you get the opportunity to fly in such a prestigious and historic military aircraft as the Spitfire. It really is a flying experience to be savoured by all the senses, and one to rouse a mixture of intense and profound emotions, and which lasts as an eternal reminder of the bravery, courage and sacrifice the pilots who flew them showed.
Terms and Conditions for Spitfire Flight Experiences
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
