Description
Battle Of Britain Air Show Pleasure Flight
Your Aircraft
We fly our Leeds Castle Pleasure Flight guests in an ex-RAF 1946 de Havilland Devon, famously used by Air Chief Marshall Sir Basil Embry as his personal transport during his time as Commander Of Allied Forces, Central Europe. In 1985 the aircraft joined the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) at RAF Coningsby, where the aircraft was used as a crew transport in support of the BBMF Lancaster, Spitfires and Hurricanes. The Devon and its non-military sister the Dove were exceptionally successful, proving reliable and economical in service. They became one of the best selling British aircraft of the 1950's. The Devon is a comfortable aircraft inside, with roomy seats and large panoramic windows. There are excellent photo opportunities.
In the Air
We will fly you across beautiful Kent to magical Leeds Castle and the surrounding countryside. You will have a breathtaking vision of Leeds Castle, rising majestically from the moat as it has done for over 900 years. The purring Gipsy Queen piston engines and comfortable interior are a throwback to the golden years of British aviation. Visitors to Leeds Castle will watch you from below as you circle above with the best view possible.
Booking Your Battle Of Britain Air Show Pleasure Flight
Flights are available on a 'walk-in' basis, Saturday or Sunday. Strictly limited availability.
