Fly with a SPITFIRE

CHASE PLANES

When you come for your Spitfire flight, we have a once in a lifetime way to share the experience with friends and family.

Up to four people can share your trip-of-a-lifetime by taking a seat in our modern Chase Plane and fly with a Spitfire while you soar above Kent’s famous Battle of Britain countryside. If your Spitfire flight is destined for the coast then you can join them in the skies over the white cliffs with the coastal upgrade option.

New for 2023 – Cotswold Airport location will also offer Chase Plane experiences.

Through panoramic windows, passengers get a clear view of you in your Spitfire, capturing video and photographs air-to-air. As well as enjoying the thrill of flying with a Spitfire in its natural element. Passengers will also get a fantastic view of the ground where many historic landmarks can be seen.
