About the experience
Experience the thrill of flying a historic Harvard warbird with our special trial lessons. Operating out of Headcorn in Kent and North Weald in Essex, both popular General Aviation airfields, these flights offer an unforgettable experience for pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike. With its powerful radial engine and fully retractable undercarriage, the Harvard exudes power and history. What sets these lessons apart is that you won't just be a passive passenger – if you're up for it, you'll have the opportunity to take control of this magnificent aircraft over the skies of Kent or Essex. The Harvard you'll fly was originally built as a standard T6 in 1943 and later upgraded to a T6-G in 1949. After serving as a trainer and with the Haitian Air Force, it made its way to the UK in 1989. Enjoy a 60-minute Harvard flight lesson and seize the chance to pilot this remarkable aircraft yourself. Soar through the skies of Essex or zoom through the airspace over Headcorn in Kent for an unforgettable experience. Embrace the sights, sounds, and even the smell of hot oil as you create lasting memories with the remarkable Harvard!
