Fly a Spitfire Reviews 

What an amazing experience! It's not every day you get to go flying in a Spitfire, especially one that saw active service during WW2, and this is one day that will live long in my heart and memory.

The close formation flying with my friends onboard the chase plane was incredible, and I now have many amazing photos and videos of me flying in a Spitfire over the Kent countryside.

And best of all, I actually took control of this wonderful 80 year old Spitfire and flew her down to the south coast where my pilot, Dunc Mason, performed a couple of victory rolls over the sea at Beachy Head! Wow!!

My sincere heartfelt thanks to ALL at Biggin Hill Heritage Hanger for their hard work and dedication organising these flights, to the engineers that maintain these incredible machines, to the pilots that fly them who must surely get a buzz each time they climb into the cockpit, and to the rest of the crew that ensure the smooth running of the ground operation. Hospitality and professionalism were second to none, and nothing was too much effort. Special thanks to Ray, the Ops Manager - he's the glue that holds it all together, making sure we were well looked after and keeping us informed of developments whilst we waited for my flight; not an easy task when the weather wouldn't settle and we had to rearrange the flight a few days later.

As a young boy, the Spitfire captured my imagination and I dreamt that one day I would fly one. It's taken many long years and the experience was quite emotional, but at last, I've finally managed to fulfil my boyhood dream, and I can now say that "I have flown a Spitfire!"

Excellent visit and flight to Beachy Head. Staff all friendly helpful and informative. Family flew in a chase plane and we had a great time flying alongside them.

Up there with one of the best days of my life. Suprised my dad with spitfire flight. The team suprised him perfectly. He was in shock. The whole team are very professional, polite and passionate about their job. If i had the money i would come back evey month. Thanks very much. Memories made that are priceless.

Absolutely brilliant! A dream come true!
What more can I say!

Staff is well experienced and better facilities are available here.

The company is very well-organized and professional and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The flight itself was everything that I had hoped it would be. This all added up to an unforgettable day. It was worth every penny!

The long Spite Fire flight to Dover along with the chase plan was an unforgettable experience for all four of us. Detailed information provided by the the pilots and team before and during the flight enhanced the experience. Nothing was rushed and the provision of videos of it all means we can "relive" it at leisure. The tour of the hangers was also exceptional and detailed information provided to one of our members made his day. Thank you very much.

Magical, transcendent, utterly embodied.
Yes it hugely expensive but really a once in a lifetime.

Met some wonderful people including Wayne who did the cockpit and safety procedures – great banter with him.
Laurie who did the hangar tour, very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail, was easy to understand and made it enjoyable and very interesting.
Pete my pilot who was exceptional and his formation flying with the chase plane was positionally perfect.
Flight was perfect, did two victory rolls, two wing overs and two hands on for me in control. What a wonderful airplane, no wonder the WWII pilots revered it so much.
A much treasured entry in my Pilots Flying Log on a truly exceptional day, there are no words to describe the feelings I went through and will be feeling for ever.
Thank you so very much to everyone at 'Fly A Spitfire' and my darling wife for an unforgettable present.

what an experience a much do before you die. you were greeted with smiles to send you miles dont be shy give it a try. you wont be disappointed.

This was a fantastic birthday experience. From the time we arrived as a family we were looked after and engaged with by the staff.
The Spitfire flight was piloted in the safe hands of Barry Hughes and was an unbelievable once in a lifetime moment.

Excellent all around experience. Superb.

From arrival to take off to landing and post landing pics and certificate, it was all smooth and guided through with clear and concise instructions.

As a recently retired Royal Canadian Air Force pilot, this was on my bucket list. The 35 min flight was just long enough for me to get some flying in and enjoy the countryside. My partner booked the formation flight (optional extra cost) which allowed her to experience some of it with me. The team were excellent and very accommodating. The hanger tour was outstanding.

Things to note. If you take Uber, use the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar as the destination rather than the address. Uber's maps have the wrong location for the address. I had to convince the Uber driver to drive the extra mile to get to the hanger. Best way back to London is Uber to Orpington Railway Station and train back.

The flight was predictably amazing and the whole experience made even more enjoyable by the enthusiasm, attention and professionalism of all the staff including the brilliant pilot. My family were able to be more involved as well,by taking the chaser flight which they all very much enjoyed. Thank you

Had the absolute time of my life! Excellent and professional crew who made my dream come true, on the ground as well as in the air.

A big and humble thank you to all in Biggin Hill Spitfire.

Faultless. Every member of staff was friendly, very helpful, and professional. Excellent flight with the pilot prioritising what I wanted from it. Thank you.

I had the most wonderful time! It was always a dream of mine to fly in the iconic Spitfire and the reality didn't disappoint!

The staff I spoke with were all friendly and knowledgeable, and their ability to put you at ease was second to none! The attention to your own personal safety was paramount and they made absolutely sure you fully understood the safety procedures before you flew.

My wonderful pilot Barry, whom I can't praise highly enough, was not only a fantastic flyer but he made the experience extra special as he made me feel like a VIP! Thank you also to Dimitri who looked after me and to Dell for the very interesting hangar tour.

I would definitely recommend a flight in a Spitfire, especially from Biggin Hill, and would like to encourage those who may have doubts about doing so to book the experience as it won't be regretted.

A big thank you to you all at the Heritage Hangar.

What a fantastic experience. The team look after you really well. Prefilght the pilot describes what is going to happen especially round the chase plane we hired. Note chase plane is well worth it but only stays with the Spitfire for 15 mins. Down to the coast you fly the Spit, Then along the seven sisters and Beachy head , Victory roll and home - brilliant

A really special day and a boyhood dream came true. The advice / guidance etc was appropriate and professional. Pilot (PK) had that great mix of professional but friendly which inspired confidence. Thank you!!
