About the experience
Step back in time and enjoy a slice of aviation history with this flight in a VF516 - 1951 Auster military aircraft from Peterborough or Cambridge. Sitting in a military flying suit that will be provided for you, you’ll be face to face with a bit of history as you look out of the window and are treated to stunning countryside views below.
