About the experience
Step back in time to the 1950s with this 30 Minute Flight in a de Havilland Chipmunk plane. Initially used by the Royal Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force for military service, these were then used as trainer aircrafts for flying schools. Nowadays, they have been lovingly restored and provide history and aviation enthusiasts with a memorable experience in the skies. Departing from Biggin Hill in Kent, passengers can enjoy wonderful views of the countryside as they are strapped in with their flight suit and helmet alongside an expert instructor. If you feel confident, you’ll even get a chance to take control of the aircraft and experience what it’s like to fly one of these fabulous vintage planes as you soak up the views over this former fighter command base.

Not only this, but the views you get over the countryside are simply jaw dropping. After enjoying the 30 minute flight you will then get the chance to have a tour of the shipping and airlines hangar which houses many other vintage aircrafts including Dragonfly, Hornet Moths and Miles Messenger aircrafts.
