About the experience
Now booking Tiger Moth flights out of North Weald Airfield! Take off in a vintage Tiger Moth biplane from this historic airfield just north of Epping. With a full range of flight durations available, we've got an experience to suit you. We are offering 45-minute Tiger Moth flights from North Weald. Sitting pretty in the north Essex countryside, this is a great little general aviation airfield. It's steeped in history, too, having been created as RAF North Weald in 1916 and served as a strategic fighter base in WW2 and beyond. The operator running these flights out of North Weald has a trio of Tiger Moths to choose from. You may not know in advance which particular Moth will be flying during your day, but all are beautifully restored to be the flying beauties they truly are. All Tiger Moth flights at North Weald are treated as trial lessons, which means you get to have a go at flying the plane, just like all those keen young RAF pilot trainees in years gone by. Once your pilot instructor has handled take-off and reached level flight, it's over to you!
