"An amazing experience"

What an amazing experience! A close friend bought me this for my 70th, Nige was our instructor, what a top bloke!

I've flown light aircraft before, but this was on another level, so realistic. Nige calmly talked me though the basics and Victory rolls and loop the loops. Flying around the Needles was great fun. The final Victory roll over the Solent and HMS Queen Elizabeth topped an amazing time. 9 out of 6 Nige!

"Simply Fantastic"

Great people, great experience. It was all professionally done and all staff at Fly a Spitfire are so friendly and helpful. If you dont do the flight then you must do the hangar tour at Biggin Hill where you are constantly reminded that the planes are still with us but not the brave pilots who flew them for us. I went up in the spitfire "Grey Nurse" at Cotswold airport and it was superb and unforgettable. My pilot Barry flew us out towards Stroud and we flew over our house! I even took control for about a minute. There is a great cafe there called AV8 where your friends can get a coffee while they wait your return. Afterwards we went to the Thames Head Pub 5 mins away for a great meal. All in, a fantastic and truly memorable experience.

"This company is a complete scam"

This company is a complete scam. They cancelled my flight due to weather and then refused to refund all my money. On top of that they told me they were keeping £92 for credit card fees but then kept over £140. Absolute scam and fraudulent!

"To Heaven and back"

From the time we arrived to the time we left, there was nothing more they could have done to make this experience more memorable. All the staff, and especially my pilot Adam Green, who, without doubt, has the best job in the world! made the day, which on this occasion was my 60th birthday, even more special, and when we flew over the white cliffs of Dover, I thought it could not get better than this, but it did as for a short time I was given control of the Spitfire and then Adam did a victory roll, a perfect end to a perfect day, and I forgot to mention you have the whole fight recorded for you to take away to relive the experience over and over again. I just want to say once again a big thank you to everyone at Warbird Experiences (Fly A Spitfire.com) who were fantastic.

"Friendly welcome from all the staff"

Friendly welcome from all the staff. Flying in MT818 with the Pilot Jeremy Britcher was a sheer pleasure. He is a true Ambassador for the company and makes you very relaxed throughout your flight.
I would recommend this company to anyone and enjoy a lifetime experience.

"If you have the chance, do it !"

It was a fabulous experience on my 70th birthday. Very relaxed, no rush, no pressure and all procedures, expectations and possible issues were fully and clearly communicated. My pilot, Adam Green, provided a faultless flight and like all others supporting the operation was friendly and welcoming. The hanger tour was a nice addition and our guide, Simon, was clearly extremely knowledgeable about all that is displayed.
Many thanks to all who provided a very memorable day.

"One of the greatest days of my life"

One of the greatest days of my life, an absolute must for anyone. The experience from start to finish was spot on and a big thanks to all the team at Into The Blue. The flight was memorable and actually getting to fly the Spitfire just incredible. I will never forget the victory rolls over Beachy Head on such a clear blue day. If you are interested, I have posted a video on line. "Spitfire flight over Beachy Head"
