About

Chocks away old boy! Toodle-pip! Aviation was once about freedom and adventure (as well as fantastic sheepskin jackets and great goggles). And with this experience you'll recreate the pure pleasure of vintage flight. After a short pre-flight briefing, don a Biggles-style flying jacket before climbing into the cockpit of a vintage De Havilland Tiger Moth or 1930s Stampe SV4. The Tiger Moth is the quintessential English biplane, with the Stampe being the Belgian equivalent and all models have been lovingly restored. Feel the rush of the wind from the open cockpit and enjoy sectacular views as your pilot puts the plane through a series of exciting manoeuvres (subject to weather conditions and at the pilot's discretion). You'll also have the opportunity to take the controls yourself and discover the sensation that has made generations of flyers fall in love with these lively little planes. Back on terra firma, some venues even include a flight certificate for you to take home.

Key Info

Availability: Selected weekend and weekday dates throughout the main flying season from May to September for Tiger Moth at some venues and all year round at others and for Stampe flights. We recommend booking several weeks in advance.
Participant Guidelines: Min age varies 12-16. Max weight 16-18 stone. Minimum height 4'11''. If you fit into a standard car seat you should be comfortable in the cockpit. Unsuitable for pregnant women or anyone unable to climb into an open cockpit.
Weather: Flying is weather dependent and it is crucial that you call the weather line on the morning of your flight. These craft are vintage open-cockpit planes and certain weather conditions may result in your flight being rescheduled.
Duration: Your flight will last for around 30 minutes from chocks-off to chocks-on. Please arrive up to 15 minutes before your flight time to be kitted out and briefed. Allow for at least one hour on site.
Numbers On Day: Your briefing may be shared, but only you and your qualified pilot will be in the aircraft during your flight.
Spectators: Spectators are welcome. Facilities vary depending on the venue. A camera and a pair of binoculars will come in handy. Pets are not permitted at any airfield.
Dress Code: As these planes have open cockpits, do wrap up warm. Wear soft-soled shoes. Bring sunglasses and if you have long hair, something to tie it back with. Flying kit (jacket, headset and helmet) will be provided.
Other Info: These vintage aircraft are scrupulously maintained and serviced to ensure your safety.
