About the experience
Experience a slice of World War Two aviation history as you take a seat aboard a VF516 Auster Warbird plane. Introduced in the 1940s to the Royal Air Force, these planes played a vital role in military liaison and observation during WW2 over the British skies. After being restored and lovingly looked after, these very types of planes are now available for flights across the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough countryside for passengers who want to enjoy a reenactment of an important time in history. Included in this experience is a pre-flight briefing and outline of the flight plan which also includes you being equipped with a military flying suit. You’ll definitely be looking (and feeling!) the part as you climb on board the plane and settle into the unique rumbles of this historic engine that used to fill the skies over Britain. In no time at all, your experienced pilot will have you airbourne, as you look out of the silver grey windows you’ll be treated to stunning countryside views over Cambridge and beyond. Although the world has changed a lot since these planes first started to grace the skies, there’s something magical about knowing that WW2 pilots would have been looking out over the same hills and sights. Not only is this a unique and memorable flight for anyone, but particularly appeals to history enthusiasts who want to gain a lived experience of an authentic WW2 plane.
