30 MINUTE SPITFIRE EXPERIENCE WITH STRIKEMASTER FIGHTER JET RENDEZVOUS FORMATION (NORTH WEALD)

This Spitfire flying experience is the only one of its kind available in the UK and is fully approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. The experience will last for around 30 minutes, with 20 minutes airborne (for one person). Brand new for the 2025 season, this exciting and high-end flying experience is the only type of its kind, offering you the opportunity to rendezvous during your Spitfire flight with the BAC Strikemaster Jet. In your Supermarine Spitfire, you will cover everything that is included in the experience, before joining in formation with the BAC Strikemaster and completing some formation display with aerobatic sequences. Your unique flight will be tailored to your requirements, sitting alongside one of our highly experienced, CAA approved, ex-military display pilots.
All flights include a detailed pre-flight briefing, covering the aircraft, equipment and safety procedures. All passengers will be fully kitted out with high quality military flying clothing and equipment and receive a comprehensive briefing. North Weald Airfield is an original WW2 Battle of Britain Airfield located just 20 minutes from central London by road and rail. Panoramic views over the City of London immediately after take off, patrol the local area as a fighter pilot would have during the Battle of Britain. Your flight will be operated from the 2000-meter tarmac runway at North Weald, which was once home to the RAF Red Arrows predecessors, The Black Arrows. You will take home a signed flight certificate of ‘Your Spitfire’ as a lasting reminder of your experience. In-flight video options and flight length extensions are available to pre-book online, or upgrade on the day.
