55 Minute ‘Beachy Head’ Spitfire Flight
Scramble your Spitfire from Blackbushe Airport (RAF Hartfordbridge) and head South to the stunning Sussex coastline.
You’ll be able to view the classic primary flight instruments of Supermarines famous cockpit before having the chance to get your hands on the iconic spade grip yourself.
A flight in a Spitfire is the trip of a lifetime wherever the destination, however a trip to the Sussex coast with views of the English Channel and stunning white cliffs recreates the sorties taken by WWII pilots in the 1940’s . Back then the ‘Seven Sisters’ White Cliffs were under close guard with lookouts in place for seaborne invasion forces. Today you’ll enjoy the views of the Belle Tout and Beachy Head Lighthouses and the visitors who flock to these iconic chalk cliffs.
As the famous county anthem goes ‘You may tell them all we stand or fall, For Sussex by the Sea.’
