About the experience
Step back in time and explore this 60 Minute Tiger Moth flight from Breighton Airfield in Yorkshire! Not only will you get to grips with flying one of these iconic trainer planes, but be surrounded by wartime aviation history. As soon as you set foot on the soil of Breighton Airfield you’ll be part of a history that dates back to the war years where this site was a heavy bomber base and then into the 1950s, was prepared for a cold war missile launch site! Nowadays, it honours this rich history by specialising in vintage flying experiences like this Tiger Moth flight. For 60 minutes, alongside an expert, you’ll be flying across the Yorkshire skies in this open cockpit vintage plane once used to train pilots throughout WW2. The specific plane you’ll be flying in (serial number of N9372 if you’re super curious!) was used by the RAF throughout Wiltshire, Warwickshire and Cambridge during the war before retiring in 1953, where it was lovingly restored and prepared for pleasure flights. For this thrilling historical flight, you’ll be prepped before setting off in the skies and provided with a flying suit, helmet, goggles and even a headset for inflight communication with the pilot! Who wouldn’t want the chance to get airbourne with a Tiger Moth for a chance to witness the flight experience of a WW2 pilot? Secure your spot with a Gift Voucher today!
