Why fly a spitfire at Biggin Hill?

Flying in a Spitfire is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the culmination of a lifetime’s ambition for many, so why not do it at a location with a rich history and walk in the footsteps of those brave young men who fought from here in 1939-1945?

We operate from the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar. The Heritage Hangar is a restoration facility dedicated to putting Spitfires back in the air. It has restored many Spitfires to flying condition, with several more projects waiting their turn.

WHY BIGGIN HILL?

  • At Fly a Spitfire, we offer a 30-minute experience, which includes a minimum of 20 minutes airborne.
