Cotswold Airport
45 Minute ‘Fly a Spitfire’ Experience
Fly a Spitfire over the Cotswolds, classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which covers nearly 800 square miles. You’ll be spoilt for choice as you can plan your preferred route with your pilot.
On this 45 Minute vintage WWII fighter adventure you could head South to see Longleat House with its distinctive maze and gardens or perhaps go West and patrol the Severn Estuary. With a vast area to explore you’re sure to have the flight of a lifetime as you take the Spitfire controls and soar over a patchwork of green fields, lakes, country houses and picture postcard villages.
