Spitfire

[Simpo Two]

I seem to recall from posts here that flights might now be possible due to changes in regs - and this year might just be the year I tick the ultimate box.

If any well-informed folk here could give me a link to whatever might be available I'd be grateful. Thanks!

Spitfire flights are available from outfits operating from Goodwood, Duxford and Biggin Hill.

OK thanks - I've found www.flyaspitfire.com at Biggin Hill; Duxford would be an option too - who operates the one there?

Thanks; I appreciate there is Google but a website can hide many things and I didn't want to end up with bandits (no pun intended!) so recommendation or actual knowledge is best

Classic Wings are the company who operate the Tiger Moth and Dragon Rapide flights from Duxford so are a well established operation who have been doing it for years (not the Spitfire part obviously).

Not sure, Boultbee operates flights from Goodwood.

My dad recently had a flight in a Tiger Moth at Headcorn with Aero Legends, they do Spitfire and Harvard flights too. Very helpful and friendly bunch, would recommend them.

An old boss of mine was due to have a flight today ... called off thanks to rain. This bunch https://www.intotheblue.co.uk/flying-experiences/w...

Good grief, they're springing up everywhere! All T9s I presume - and all different ones?

Most, if not all, ex-Irish, as far as I know.
