Chocks away old boy! Toodle-pip!
Feel the rush of the wind in an open cockpit of a Tiger Moth or vintage biplane in this excellent Flight Gift Experience. You wil be taken back through the years when aviation was all about freedom and adventure in the open air.
Upon arrival, you will need to attend a pre-flight briefing, then you move on to get fitted for a Biggles-stle flying jacket (you’ll need it!) before you climb into the cockpit. Depending on your location, you will be flying in either a Tiger Moth or a 1930s Stampe SV4.
The Tiger Moth is the quintessential English biplane, with the Stampe being the Belgian equivalent and all models have been lovingly restored. Enjoy the spectacular views once you are airbourne while the plane is flown though a series of manoeuvres by the pilo (subject to weather conditions).
You’ll also have the opportunity to take the controls yourself and discover the sensation that has made generations of flyers fall in love with these lively little planes.
