Strap into the aircraft, experience the mighty Rolls-Royce Merlin start, and then taxy out for pre-flight checks and take-off.
This once in a lifetime experience will see you flying the TR9 Spitfire around the beautiful South Coast and over the English Channel. Enroute you'll enjoy the sight of the Spitfire's famous elliptical wing passing over England's green and pleasant land, and if you elected to try some aerobatics you'll marvel at the power, manoeuvrability and grace of the 70-year aircraft. You’ll even have the opportunity to touch the controls and fly the aircraft yourself.
