Fly a Spitfire

"Spitfire flight "
Had an amazing day at the Biggin Hill Spitfire Heritage Flight Centre with friends, etc.
Experienced a 75-minute flight over Beechy Head and the White Cliffs of Dover in a Spitfire Mk.9 : TS308 known to all as "Sharky"
My pilot for the flight was Anna Walker who was amazing and very knowledgeable.
Staff there were friendly and from the start they made you feel welcomed.
All in all it was an amazing day and would recommend it.

"Once in a lifetime experience!!!"
Weather conspired to thwart the flight but the Fly a Spitfire team called in an extra pilot and got the re-arranged flights done the day before when the climate was perfect. All the people at Fly a Spitfire were so friendly and accommodating it was a pleasure to be there. The flight itself was a once in a lifetime experience, that is until I have saved up for another flight. Take the plunge and book, you won't be disappointed.

"For as long as I can remember I have…"
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to fly in a WW2 Spitfire and do a victory roll. After years of just dreaming about it I achieved both with Fly a Spitfire at Biggin Hill on my 72nd birthday.
The staff, ground crew and pilots looked after us from the moment we walked in, making sure the whole experience was one to remember. The staff and ground crew looked after my wife while I flew in Spitfire MJ627 with Isabel, a fantastic pilot, who performed two victory rolls and even allowed me to take the controls very briefly.
I have only two regrets, I wish I had done it sooner and I should have booked a longer flight. Still, I have the onboard video to watch and relive a little of what was the perfect birthday.
Thank you to all at Fly a Spitfire.

"The most amazing experience"
The most amazing experience, loved every minute! Flying in the Spitfire was just brilliant, the time went too quickly. I was able to take the controls and fly over the Kent countryside. And heading back we did three Victory Rolls!
The family came to watch and some of them went in the chase plane and flew alongside the Spitfire to wave and take photos :)
Fantastic staff made the day.
This was the best birthday present ever.

The most incredible thing I have ever done! My family in the chase plane was the icing on the cake. Can't thank Cookie and the team enough.

"I have wanted to fly in a spitfire for…"
I have wanted to fly in a spitfire for over 40 years. My wife booked this as a birthday gift. What an experience. Words cannot describe how it felt. Absolutely amazing. Jon Cooke was the pilot and he handled the plane with absolute perfection. To take the controls was an emotional experience. My thanks go to everyone involved in make this an experience I will never forget.

"A fantastic experience"
This was a fantastic experience which I may repeat some time in the future. The one hour flight to the white cliffs passed in a flash, with seeing famous landmarks from the air and being allowed to take the controls for a great deal of the flight. The Victory rolls and high banking turns were exhilarating.
Afterwards, we had a very interesting tour of the setup, planes and other memorabilia that added to the experience.
