Fly a Spitfire Anmeldelser 

My flight had been cancelled twice due to the weather and this was third time lucky and boy was I glad I finally had the flight. It was utterly brilliant from the moment Adam strapped me in right up to the landing. It was truly a wonderful experience, I had to pinch myself as we flew over the Kent countryside towards Beachy Head in the iconic plane where we did 4 victory rolls, one over Beachy Head another over the pier. Barry the pilot was fantastic and I was able to take control of the spitfire for turns and straight line flying. Its one of the best things I've ever done. Shout out for Laurie who did factory tour and was so friendly to me and the family. If you are thinking of doing it or know someone that does just do it you wont regret it.

Bucket List Spitfire Flight. Just a note to say a BIG Thank You for a wonderful Spitfire Flight on Sunday, 11th August. All I can say is Fab-u-lous! It exceeded all my expectations and was well worth having the chase plane involved, terrific footage to cherish the memories. Thanks to Barry, Jo and Aaron for their professionalism, help and for looking after us. I would highly recommend this experience. Thank You All. Kim Chambers

I can highly recommend This company.

The whole experience was just 'mind blowing.' I did this trip with a life long friend aged 90 and the pilots, ground crew and office staff were just amazing. They all made the experience a day which we will never forget

From booking to the day itself the experience was a positive one, everyone was so helpful and enthusiastic they went out of their way to make this a very special and memorable day for both my husband who was flying and for our guests.

I had my Spitfire flight on Sunday 16th June 2024, fulfilling a dream, and more… the experience was perfect and handled so well by the Spitfire team, including pilot, ground crew and also the excellent facilities and staff at Norwich Airport’s SaxonAir. It was a very relaxed atmosphere throughout, friendly never rushed, but at the key points always clear thorough and professional.

I added a chase plane, which was a late decision, but worth every penny, as it allowed me to share the experience with my family in the air. Lots of smiles and fun, they enjoyed it almost as much as I did.

My flight was from Norwich Airport, and home area allowing me to plan a tailor route, something Fly A Spitfire were very keen to offer and arranged on the day. This was perfect and included stretches of the beautiful coast, as well as a couple of historic WW2 airfields, and places of personal significance. The Go Pro footage was great, and there was plenty of time for photographs both before and after the flight.

The highlights were taking the controls and feeling the Spitfire’s light touch responsiveness (a short lesson that I will never forget), the victory rolls, and simply the anticipation on taxi for take-off. I have since watched Spitfires fly, and my experience flight has enhanced this simple pleasure.

If only it were possible to catch and bottle up the feelings and buzz from days like this…

What can I say? This was an outstanding experience and I'm still buzzing. It was a busy afternoon as the morning flights had been put back due to weather conditions, but it was great chatting to other flyers and families and watching the planes coming in and going out. The tour round the workshop and heritage hangers were fascinating too. When I finally had my flight, it lived up to all my (very high) expectations. Anna, the pilot, was brilliant. I can honestly say that there wasn't a single second that I felt unsafe, and the flight down to the white cliffs, the fly-pass over our house en route, the acrobatics and being allowed to take the controls for quite a time was everything I could have hoped for. My husband was persuaded to go up in the tracker plane and so got some great in-flight photos of the Spitfire and said he wouldn't have missed it for the world in spite of being a bit apprehensive in small planes! A huge thank you to everyone at Biggin Hill.

We took a hanger tour at a cost of £49 each. Our guide was knowledgeable but for what we saw and learnt the cost should have been no more than £12 per person. A complete rip off.

Had an amazing day at the Biggin Hill Spitfire Heritage Flight Centre with friends, etc.
Experienced a 75-minute flight over Beechy Head and the White Cliffs of Dover in a Spitfire Mk.9 : TS308 known to all as "Sharky"
My pilot for the flight was Anna Walker who was amazing and very knowledgeable.
Staff there were friendly and from the start they made you feel welcomed.
All in all it was an amazing day and would recommend it.

Weather conspired to thwart the flight but the Fly a Spitfire team called in an extra pilot and got the re-arranged flights done the day before when the climate was perfect. All the people at Fly a Spitfire were so friendly and accommodating it was a pleasure to be there. The flight itself was a once in a lifetime experience, that is until I have saved up for another flight. Take the plunge and book, you won't be disappointed.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to fly in a WW2 Spitfire and do a victory roll. After years of just dreaming about it I achieved both with Fly a Spitfire at Biggin Hill on my 72nd birthday.

The staff, ground crew and pilots looked after us from the moment we walked in, making sure the whole experience was one to remember. The staff and ground crew looked after my wife while I flew in Spitfire MJ627 with Isabel, a fantastic pilot, who performed two victory rolls and even allowed me to take the controls very briefly.

I have only two regrets, I wish I had done it sooner and I should have booked a longer flight. Still, I have the onboard video to watch and relive a little of what was the perfect birthday.

Thank you to all at Fly a Spitfire.

An absolutely wonderful experience. Extremely well organised by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very highly recommended.

Brilliant experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Had a great pilot,Isabelle. The experience of flying the Spitfire was fantastic. Definitely a day to remember. Combined Christmas and 70th birthday present. Absolutely amazing. Jim

Excellent experience. Well organised. Flew twice. Both pilots excellent. Hangar tour very good and informative. Well worth the cost.

The most incredible thing I have ever done! My family in the chase plane was the icing on the cake. Can't thank Cookie and the team enough.

I have wanted to fly in a spitfire for over 40 years. My wife booked this as a birthday gift. What an experience. Words cannot describe how it felt. Absolutely amazing. Jon Cooke was the pilot and he handled the plane with absolute perfection. To take the controls was an emotional experience. My thanks go to everyone involved in make this an experience I will never forget.

This was a fantastic experience which I may repeat some time in the future. The one hour flight to the white cliffs passed in a flash, with seeing famous landmarks from the air and being allowed to take the controls for a great deal of the flight. The Victory rolls and high banking turns were exhilarating.
Afterwards, we had a very interesting tour of the setup, planes and other memorabilia that added to the experience.

Five stars is not enough stars! An absolutely fantastic (and emotional) experience. The introductions, instructions and options were all clear. Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and you were made to feel like you were the only one having this experience. A great day - I'd recommend to everyone. Once in a lifetime - grab it!

A fabulous day out that no words can ever do justice to.The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The flight in the Spitfire itself cannot be described, it's simply off the scale.
If you are going to treat yourself to a special day, I cannot see how this can be topped.

Thank you so much!! WOW WOW WOW. What a experience from start to finish! The whole team were amazing from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Very trying conditions totally out of the teams control due extreme amount of flights in and out of Biggin hill due to the champions league final. We were made to feel so special and we finally got in the air after some nervous moments due to high traffic. It worked out perfectly the sky was clear and flight down to Beachy head was stunning! My Pilot Anna is amazing and she truly made the time i had in TE308 truly breath-taking. I was quite emotional along the coast the spitfire is a remarkable aircraft! I really cant put into words how much i enjoyed it was quite overwhelmed by it all! The tour is amazing and to see so many people so passionate about these aircraft is a beautiful thing. I would recommend this to anybody sitting on the fence about it! Thanks again to all the team at Biggin hill.
