Our next flying day will be Friday August 20th - and we plan to have both the Spitfire and Hurricane flying that day. Opportunity for some fantastic air to air photography and ground viewings - see our Gallery. If you are the right shape and size, you might even have the chance to sit in one of the cockpits! This is going to be a popular day - so call Steve Burt on 01227 721929 and book your place now!

Are you an early riser? Can you imagine what it would be like going out on a Channel Dawn Patrol in a Spitfire? Imagine seeing the aircraft being prepared and fired up in the early morning - the roar of the Merlin breaking the silence over the airfield. The stacks glowing in the dark, and then the silhouette of BM597 taking off in the early morning light. Then imagine being with her, flying along the Kent coast - the perfect start to a Summer's Day! Please call Steve Burt on 01227 721929 to fly on a Dawn Patrol flight.

Group Flights
Why not organise a flight for family/ friends/ colleagues?
For groups we can run a flying day especially for them - it is motivational and a truly uplifting experience.
With the Spitfire flights and ground viewing opportunities, this is a most memorable way to spend quality time together in the company of one of the greatest flying legends of our time. Meet with Charlie Brown, our pilot, who is perhaps one of the most knowledgeable and experienced Spitfire pilots in the world.
Our events are centred on Walletts Court Hotel, one of the best country house hotels in Kent, with excellent accomodation, food and service second to none.

'Dear Steve, The adjectives have yet to be thought up to describe how brilliant it was to have a Spitfire flying just outside the window! As Charlie changed sides and position regularly I'm sure everyone on board had plenty of time to take a variety of pictures from various angles. That done, the swooping from one side of the helicopter to the other was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever seen! The speed difference was amazing, and really gave a fantastic impression of the power and beauty of the beast! It is an utterly unique experience, thank you so much for thinking it up and making it happen!' - Andy T., Bedfordshire (see Andy's photos here)
