Fly a genuine 1940's Spitfire
35 Minute ‘Norfolk Castles’ Spitfire Flight
This 35 minute Spitfire experience from the Saxon Air Hangars at Norwich airport gives you plenty of time to see the historic sights of Norfolk , as well as the chance to ride in the rear cockpit of a 1940’s Supermarine Spitfire.
You can plan a route with your pilot if you have a particular destination in mind but our guests always enjoy seeing some of the local Castles from 2000ft. An ideal flight could include Baconsthorpe Castle ruins, Caister Castle dating from 1432, Burgh Castle adjacent to the River Waveney and the Norman Gatehouse towers of Bigod Castle at Bungay.
