My 90-year-old father had an incredible time; the entire team we encountered was eager, well-informed, and supportive. The day was perfect in every way, and I would strongly suggest it to others.
What an incredible day! My wonderful family surprised me with this fantastic gift, and the experience was truly astonishing. The Fly a Spitfire team at Biggin Hill exceeded all expectations, from the initial booking process to fielding questions, providing pre-flight details, and the event itself. Amanda, our gracious host, went above and beyond to ensure my family and friends felt fully involved in the occasion. The ground crew was equally fantastic, assisting with getting settled into the Spitfire and helping capture tons of photos for everyone, including a fantastic group shot—thank you all! My pilot, Andy Monk, was exceptional, thoroughly explaining the flight stages before takeoff and offering me the chance to control the plane and even do a couple of barrel rolls. The flight was extraordinary, with the thrill of declaring I have control and executing three consecutive barrel rolls over Beachy Head. The excitement is still coursing through me, and if experiencing this is on your bucket list, I wholeheartedly recommend going for it!
An Unforgettable Experience Flying the Iconic Spitfire MJ627Today I had the privilege of flying the legendary Spitfire MJ627 from Blackbushe Airfield with the incredible team at Fly a Spitfire, and what an experience it was.As a private pilot, I had long dreamed of taking the controls of one of the most iconic aircraft ever built, but nothing could have prepared me for just how extraordinary the day would be. From start to finish, the entire team were professional, welcoming, and passionate about what they do.Samantha (Sam), who looked after me on the ground, was exceptional, friendly, meticulous, and utterly dedicated to ensuring every detail went perfectly. She left nothing to chance, and her enthusiasm added to the excitement of the day.My flight commander, Richard Verrall, was equally outstanding. A consummate professional and true gentleman, his briefing was clear, engaging, and full of fascinating insight. His calm, supportive manner gave me complete confidence as we took to the skies.And then, the Spitfire itself. To take the controls of such an iconic machine is almost beyond description, the power, the grace, the sheer history in its wings. Flying it was both humbling and exhilarating in equal measure. A couple of victory rolls and high-wing turns later, I was left absolutely speechless.It was, quite simply, one of the greatest privileges and most unforgettable experiences of my flying life. For anyone with even the slightest interest in aviation, Fly a Spitfire is an absolute must. I cannot recommend them highly enough.Thanks guys, simply awesome.
What an experience! Flew out of Swansea Airport on 28/09/25 for a 55 minute adventure along the South Wales coast and back over the Brecon Beacons. My pilot Barry was tremendous and gave me a quick flying lesson with a “you have control” command over the Heads of the Valleys. Experiencing this tremendous aircraft in the very capable hands of Barry was a delight, the Victory Roll being the highlight for me! I cannot praise the ground crew enough either as their welcome made me feel very special. My thanks to Dave and his colleagues for their support and for their detailed and valued briefings. My guests were also well looked after and whereby they said afterwards that I was a very lucky boy to have flown in this wonderful aircraft, I also reminded them that I felt very privileged to have had the opportunity to do so. Here’s to the next time…🤞
A fabulous dayI can’t thank the team at Biggin Hill enough, every aspect from booking, the welcome,my experience on the flight and my guests in the chase plane was first class.Even the weather played along!Fantastic visit to workshop and museum with enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide to finish off the day.Thanks again to the whole teamChris
A wonderful experience. My expectations were high but the actual event exceeded my expectations. The Chase plane allowed 5 others to share in the fun and everyone said how much they enjoyed themselves. I even flew the Spitfire for a while which was the thrill of a lifetime. Many thanks to Barry and the rest of the team on the day who were all very friendly and helpful and made sure everyone was included in the experience. The factory tour was also fascinating. Thank you again. Robert
From start to finish the experience was efficient, very friendly and well thought out. I had the time of my life, an unforgettable experience, and would recommend it to everyone. The joy of flying in a Spitfire was overwhelming. I must sing the praises of Barry the pilot and the wonderful engineer who helped me so much in the cockpit, thank you so much.
An extraordinary experience that truly exceeded my expectations. I flew from Cotswold Airport and enjoyed an incredibly friendly and welcoming reception from Keith and Dave. My pilot was Charlie and I couldn't have asked for better. He was extremely relaxed and engaging which made me feel totally at ease right from the start. Flying over the Severn and amongst the clouds in this iconic and extremely special aircraft was out of this world, but the friendliness of all three towards me and my family made it an unforgettable experience for us all. We've already enjoyed the video footage, which brings it all back straightaway.
