20 minute Fly With a Spitfire Experience

On arrival at your chosen location, you’ll meet and greet the day’s pilots as well as some of your fellow passengers before climbing aboard a multi-seat certified passenger aeroplane or helicopter. 

During the 20 minute flight and once you’re up to cruising speed the Spitfire will join you for 10 minutes of flying alongside and manoeuvres, and you’ll be able to take some amazing photos of both the Spitfire and the view of Castle Ashby as you pass by high in the sky.

Back on the ground you will have the opportunity to view the Spitfire as it sits on the airfield  - another opportunity for some quality photos. 

Family are welcome with excellent viewing of the runway and aircraft. There is also a car park, museum and a café and bar on site.
