"T6 Harvard Experience"

Fly a T6 Harvard Experience

Fly a T6 Harvard Experience, available from North Weald Airfield (London/Essex), Compton Abbas Airfield (Dorset) & Headcorn Aerodrome (Kent). The Harvard was the second step for a WWII trainee RAF fighter pilot, a much more powerful aircraft than the gentle Tiger Moth with a 600 hp P&W radial engine which makes it much more like a fighter to fly. A trial flying lesson in the T6 Harvard is an amazing experience. We not only give you the opportunity to fly in the Harvard, you also take the controls yourself and actually fly a warbird.

G-DDMV

G-DDMV was originally built in 1943. After serving with various training units she was delivered to the Haitian Air Force on August 26th 1957 and given the serial 3209. The Haitian Air Force took delivery of 10 T6G, some of which were used as armed aircraft to counter incursions from the Dominican Republic by revolutionaries. 3209 was returned to the US during 1982, possibly the only survivor of the Haiti T6s.

G-GBHU ‘Carly’

G-BGHU was originally built in 1941 and served in the USAAF from 1942 to 1950 including the Korean war in 1950. Sold in 1952 to the French Air Force she saw service in Algiers in a COIN (counter insurgency) role. In 1961 she was sold to the Portugese Air Force who gave her service in Angola. She was used as a trainer in 1978/79 and eventually sold to the private sector in 1979 arriving in the UK.

  Had  a 40 minute Beachy Head Spitfire flight on 20 August 2026. The crew at Headcorn were very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a fantastic flight with Parky. We did a loop and victory roll over Beachy Head. Parky let me take control for part of the way back. He then took control and did a couple of victory rolls over the airfield before landing. One of the best experiences I have ever had and would highly recommend.

  Absolutely fabulous day the whole experience was handled very professionaly and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. I have always wanted to fly in a Spitfire and choosing the formation option with the Harvard was perfect. The Pilots Charlie and Patrick were true professionals and gave us a fantastic flight. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the day, looking forward and saving hard for the next one ! 😎

  I recently flew the iconic Mach loop in the Strikemaster. It was fantastic! If you have a chance to do any formation flying I would highly recommend it! My thanks to Sean and all the ground crew for a fantastic adventure! Alan
