The sun is out, the sky is blue! What perfect weather for a trip to the seaside!!

Don't get stuck in endless traffic jams though, instead enjoy looking down on them from one of our Spitfires whilst en route to Beachy Head, Dover or on a Coastal Patrol!

Is love in the air for you right now?? Are you thinking about popping THE big question???

What better way than to fly side by side in two of our Spitfires followed by popping the question after your flight in front of the Spitfires you have just flown in! Make it a proposal that your loved one will remember forever.

Family and friends can join you in the air in our chase plane to fly alongside your Spitfires. Bring a bottle of champagne to celebrate with after your flight (if you are not driving of course!). Give us a call and let us help you plan the perfect proposal!!

Our thanks goes out to Mike Smith who sent us this fabulous shot of our lovely TE308 Grey Nurse starting up and living up to her name!

Thank you so much for sending it to us Mike, we had to share it as it was too good to keep to ourselves!

When you come for your flight why not stop off and pay a visit to the memorial to the brave men and women who served at Biggin Hill during WW2. The memorial garden can be found just inside the entrance to the airfield on the left hand side and is worth a visit.

Our Spitfire experiences are not just for the person flying in the Spitfire! Bring your family and friends along to watch and top up their tan whilst enjoying panoramic airfield views from our patio (or to enjoy lounging on our comfy leather sofas in our flight lounge if they want to stay out of the sun!!)
