If, by chance you are off to the USA this year, it's still more cost effective to achieve this aim over there.

Unless his heart is set on a Spit/'Stang. possibly cheaper and longer in the air experience would be flying a Cambridge Flying Group Tiger Moth based up at Marshalls Airport in - Cambridge.

I have done the Spitfire flight last July. Just an amazing experience.
What sort of tips are you after?
The only thing I can think of is that you need to prepare to be there for 4 - 5 hours as you will be one of 4 flights in your booked slot.

Have a look at the Harvard at Goodwood. https://www.goodwood.com/experiences/flying/. It's not quite a Spit or Mustang, but still an old war bird. My Brother did it and loved it, the pilot said the experience is very close to a Spitfire, but a lot less ££. My Brother took the controls for quite a while.

I know the guys involved. Great outfit but they sell out a year or so in advance.

There's a couple of other options in the UK to do this. Classic Wings keeps popping up on my Facebook Feed, and there's a company about to start at Gloucester with a Harvard and Stearman.
