  • About

    Fly alongside a Spitfire in the same airspace where some of World War Two's most intense aerial fighting took place. As a passenger in a helicopter you will take a 10 minute flight over the Kent countryside, taking in breathtaking views of, amongst other things, the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne. The Spitfire will fly within waving distance and you can even pass requests for the pilot to position the aircraft for that perfect photo shot - your own 'remote control' Spitfire! Once past the Memorial, the flight returns to the airfield where you will be presented with a mounted picture of the Spitfire flying with the helicopter, which will serve as a marvellous momento of this poignant and unforgettable experience.

    Availability

    Long weekends approximately once every four to six weeks between March and October. This is a very popular experience so we recommend booking at least six to eight weeks in advance (even earlier for summer weekends).

    Participant Guidelines

    Maximum weight is 15 stone. Minimum age is 8 (if under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult) participants must have the ability to walk 50 metres unaided and the strength to open/close a car door.

    Weather

    Flying is a weather dependent activity and you will be contacted three days before the event to confirm whether the flying will go ahead. If your flight is cancelled due to weather, it will be re-booked for another date.

    Duration

    Your experience will last for about one hour, including the 10 minute flight and presentation of mounted print.

    Your briefing might be shared with up to 10 other people. Two helicopters fly in each flight, and they accommodate between 3 and 5 passengers each, depending on demand. Everyone is guaranteed a window seat.

    Spectators

    Up to three spectators are welcome to accompany you at the airfield. There is plenty for them to see and there are excellent photo opportunities - the setting is a grass airfield with a hangar. Light refreshments are available to purchase.

    Dress Code

    Smart casual, practical for flying. Footwear suitable for walking in grass. To add to the fun, visitors may dress in 1940s themed attire if preferred - either civil or military. If you own a period vehicle, bring that along!
