Fly over the Isle of Wight

45 Minute ‘Isle of Wight and Needles’ Spitfire Flight

A Spitfire over the White Cliffs of the Needles, it’s an iconic aircraft over a unique location.

Head South after your departure from Blackbushe Airport and after a brief spell enjoying the Hampshire Countryside you’ll be enjoying views of The Solent Coastline. Portsmouth Harbour and the impressive Spinnaker Tower can all be seen before you head across the Isle of Wight.

Your flight time should allow a circuit of the Island taking in views of the coastal towns and resorts. East Cowes, Ryde, Bembridge, Sandown, Shanklin and Ventnor line up on the East side of the Island with the ‘Dinosaur coast’ and Compton Beach leading you towards the soaring chalk cliffs and lighthouse at the Needles Headland.
