Tiger Moth 60 Minute Flight

Tiger Moth flying experience. Enjoy a venture into the past with this classic flying experience.

• Scenic ride in an open cockpit Tiger Moth plane
• You can have a go at flying the plane yourself
• Take home a flight certificate of your day

Chocks away! You're about to take a flight in a Tiger Moth - the quintessential English biplane. Absorb the magnificent views from the open cockpit as you fly over the rolling British countryside with the wind in your hair. You'll experience open cockpit flying and relive the golden era of aviation when flying was all about adventure, freedom and fun. A whole hour of flying in a vintage bi-plane, you can learn a lot in that time. RAF student pilots in the 30’s and 40’s were expected to be able to fly solo after less than 10 hours of instruction; one hour could get you 10% of the way there. Lots of time to practice handling the aircraft whilst navigating, and still time left over for some aerobatics, or you can just relax and get used to the sensation of flying.

The flight also includes a pre-flight briefing which lasts about 15 minutes. This briefing goes through the basic controls of the aircraft which are demonstrated during the flight.
