"Absolutely Brilliant Experience."

FLY IN A SPITFIRE

To fly in a Spitfire is the ultimate bucket list experience, so why compromise? Book an Aero Legends Spitfire Flight Experience

We operate two Two-Seat Spitfires and both have been converted to the Vickers Supermarine dual control, two-seat design. This gives you the full Spitfire experience with excellent visibility over the famous elliptical wing throughout your Spitfire Flight.

We are proud to have probably some of the most experienced pilots on these Marques flying for us. Many of which have long and successful careers with the RAF including the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Red Arrows.

The airfields from which we operate are carefully selected based on the iconic landmarks you can overfly, the local flight height restrictions and the impact of commercial air traffic. Headcorn Aerodrome (Kent) and North Weald Airfield (Essex/Cambs) benefit from no commercial traffic therefore no lengthy wait for a departure slot.

As famous WW2 RAF stations – Headcorn Aerodrome (RAF Lashenden 1943 – 1945) and North Weald Airfield (RAF North Weald 1916 – 1964) – both are perfect for attending friends and family. We have our own private areas for a safe day out with the aircraft. There are ample viewing areas overlooking the operations area and runway meaning your guests can be truly involved in the Spitfire Flight experience.

YOUR DAY WITH US

ARRIVAL

Aero Legends staff greet you by the aircraft and proceed with your check-in. All airfields have parking and good facilities. Each airfield has a café and bar, we encourage your family and friends to savour the atmosphere and share your day. Your day will start with a flight briefing where you will receive all the practical safety information required to fly in a Spitfire – as approved by the CAA.

YOUR AIRCRAFT

A unique once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a flight in a Two-Seat Spitfire. This is a very rare and unique experience, made more amazing when you’re flying in an actual Spitfire used during WWII combat in the Battle for Normandy. During your flight you will experience the sights, sounds and smells of the cockpit and communicate with your pilot, viewing the skills and techniques it takes to fly such an historic aircraft.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO

Cockpit video footage is taken for each Spitfire flight. Buy the optional video when you buy the flight online or buy on your flight day. The video will be at least cockpit footage from a cockpit facing camera. If the video footage fails in any way – we will refund any video charge only – you cannot re-take a flight due to a video failure. Your guests can take photos and videos from the ample viewing areas assigned at each aerodrome.

CUSTOMERS TESTIMONIALS

“They could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. Surprise spitfire flight for a 90 year old made so special by the care and attention to detail for his special day. Thank you”

Jo Palmer – Fly In A Spitfire

“It was an amazing day, we’ll remember it for the rest of our lives. What an experience, far beyond our expectations! Thank you to the whole team”

Lynn De Merlier – Fly In A Spitfire

“It was the most exhilarating, thrilling experience I’ve ever had. I’d actually flown Britain’s most legendary fighter and the elation was hard to impart. I’d recommend it to anybody”

Chris Clifford – Fly In A Spitfire

“A massive “Thank You” for a truly fantastic day yesterday. The flight was everything I expected it to be, and even a bit more. Your team made the whole day truly superb for us all and I have a sneaky suspicion I may be back one day!!!”

Tim & Sarah Wood – Fly In A Spitfire

” In the lead up to the day, the Aero Legends Team were there for us. Engaged in all of the detailed, often unseen (but never unappreciated), planning that is needed to make the day seem so deceptively effortless.

On the day itself, and from the warm and friendly greeting that I received from Chris, through to the professional and enthusiastic assistance that I received to get me settled safely inside the Spitfire (inside the Spitfire!!!), and for everything that happened before, during and after the flight – I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for all of the team.

To fly in a Spitfire at all is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, to be treasured. To fly with Charlie Brown made this immeasurably better.

I struggle to find the words to describe the honour, privilege and pleasure of being able to fly in formation with the Devon (Air Chief Marshal Sir Basil Embry’s personal transport), and with two veterans of World War 2. Including a Hurricane that actually fought in the Battle of Britain, a pivotal moment in our country’s history, and indeed for civilisation as a whole.

I will forever treasure the memories of this astounding, remarkable, incredible day. Please pass on my profound gratitude and thanks to everyone who contributed to making this happen.

Paul Hicks – Fly In A Spitfire

What can I say, the 6 year old me would not believe that I had flown a Spitfire in a two-ship formation over Capel-le-ferme! Thank you so much to all! Parky and Charlie Brown were just fantastic, and I really cannot put into words just how beautiful an aircraft Elizabeth is. I would say I’m on cloud nine, but I’m pretty sure Parky victory rolled around it…… not that I mind!

Mike Woloschuk – Fly In A Spitfire

“These guys made my dads lifetime dream come true. The skill of parky was amazing and the WHOLE team were legends too!! My whole family had an emotional blast of a day and Aero Legends made it possible. The inflight video and spitfire watch just topped it off!

It doesn’t come across enough in text but from the whole Woodthorpe family and Cliff
THANK YOU FOR THE LIFETIME EXPERIENCE !!”

Cliff Woodthorpe – Fly In A Spitfire

“I would like to thank you all for such a wonderful day last Thursday 28th July 2016, when my husband Andrew had his flight in the Spitfire. It was wonderful that our family, who had made a long journey that day, were able to join us and enjoy the whole experience.”

Andrew & Lorraine Vidler – Fly In A Spitfire

“From the moment we walked through your door until the last handshake goodbye you could not have done more for us. The professionalism of your operation was of the highest standard and the ground crew, the most brilliant team of people to look after us.”

David Welch – Fly In A Spitfire

“Amazing day! Made to feel welcome & a part of the team from the moment you walk in the door. My Stepson flew with Parky in Elizabeth. We’re all grinning & those of us that didn’t go up in the sky are jealous.”

Caroline Lee – Fly In A Spitfire

“I flew the spitfire Elizabeth on June 15 this year. From the time we arrived till the moment we left we were made very welcome. The place is the great venue and I would advise anyone if they were thinking of wanting to fly a spitfire, Aero Legends is the place to go. Flying over the White Cliffs, doing a victory roll over the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel le Ferne and flying her myself is something I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you to Charlie Brown and the crew at Aero Legends for making my dream of flying a spitfire possible”
