About the experience
Get to know the ‘Warbird’ Wacky Wabbit with this 20 Minute Flight in a 1940s aircraft. If you consider yourself a bit of a history buff, you’ll want to get well acquainted with this vintage machine as you are transported back to the previous century. With origins in the Canadian Car and Factory Company and then sent to Italy to rebuild Air Forces around Europe, this plane has seen a fair bit of the world and experienced a lot of history. Somehow the plane ended up on British shores in 2015, where its current owners lovingly restored it into the mint condition that it is today. With striking yellow and brown colours and equipped with the Wacky Wabbit logo, originally used by a British Flying Training School in Florida during the 1940s, the aircraft is probably unlike any you’ve seen before. Quirky, fun and steeped with a long aviation history, this flight is a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with a slice of history as you rumble through the skies and take in the sights and smells from a vehicle rooted in the distant past. You may even get to experience some aerobatics if you're feeling adventurous and have the chance to take the controls yourself if you're feeling up to it. With the flexibility of departing from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire or even Lincolnshire this is an experience that covers a range of locations and runs for six months out of the year. If you or someone you know is a keen history enthusiast who is looking for a one of a kind experience in a 1940s plane, make sure to get booked in quickly to avoid missing out.
