Fly a Spitfire Bewertungen 

Five stars is not enough stars! An absolutely fantastic (and emotional) experience. The introductions, instructions and options were all clear. Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and you were made to feel like you were the only one having this experience. A great day - I'd recommend to everyone. Once in a lifetime - grab it!

A fabulous day out that no words can ever do justice to.The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The flight in the Spitfire itself cannot be described, it's simply off the scale.
If you are going to treat yourself to a special day, I cannot see how this can be topped.

Thank you so much!! WOW WOW WOW. What a experience from start to finish! The whole team were amazing from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Very trying conditions totally out of the teams control due extreme amount of flights in and out of Biggin hill due to the champions league final. We were made to feel so special and we finally got in the air after some nervous moments due to high traffic. It worked out perfectly the sky was clear and flight down to Beachy head was stunning! My Pilot Anna is amazing and she truly made the time i had in TE308 truly breath-taking. I was quite emotional along the coast the spitfire is a remarkable aircraft! I really cant put into words how much i enjoyed it was quite overwhelmed by it all! The tour is amazing and to see so many people so passionate about these aircraft is a beautiful thing. I would recommend this to anybody sitting on the fence about it! Thanks again to all the team at Biggin hill.

An extraordinary and overwhelming day. I have loved the Spitfire since I was a kid, and the thought of actually flying in one of these beautiful machines (let alone maybe taking the controls) was frankly beyond my wildest dreams. Knowing this, my kids were the inspiration and my wife bought me the flight as a birthday present. We extended it to include Beachy Head, and the chase plane for the family - both options thoroughly recommended.

The whole experience was perfect. Laurie, Amanda and everyone made the whole family feel welcome and involved in the experience from the start. The briefing was thorough, enjoyable, and getting kitted up intensely exciting. Paul and the team also managed to ensure we got a chase plane big enough to take pretty much the entire family - so grateful for this.

Whilst they got airborne, I met pilot Barry (warmth, experience, professionalism and calmness personified) and was strapped in and given the last ARC checks by Simon (very thorough, and his friendliness and enthusiasm is infectious). Hearing (and feeling) the Merlin fire up, taxiing out, actually being sat in MJ-627 as it left the ground - words don't get close. And rising up into the sun to rendezvous with the chase plane, and seeing my family having the time of their lives up there and sharing it all as we flew along the coast above the Seven Sisters - this is a deathbed memory. Actually taking the controls, and the thrill of Barry's perfectly executed victory rolls and then landing, were icing on the cake.

Then meeting up with the family as they landed, photos with Barry, Simon and everyone by this astonishing machine. The factory tour afterwards maybe should have been eclipsed by the flight - the fact that it wasn't shows just how fascinating Laurie, Jake and everyone we spoke to made it. And I can't stop watching the videos from the GoPros and chase plane.

This is an outstanding company - welcoming, friendly, passionate about what they do, and above all safe, and thoroughly professional. If you've ever even remotely thought about something like this - just do it (and enjoy the shared memories forever).

If you never do anything else, do this... it is just the most incredible experience. From meeting the support team, pre-briefing with the pilot, the flight itself and the de-brief this could not have been made any better.
The pilot, Barry, was wholly accommodating in respect of flying over familiar countryside from the Cotswold Airport and was happy to let me take the controls, albeit briefly, to allow me now to say "I've flown a Spitfire!" having never piloted an aircraft of any sort previously.
We performed a couple of rolls, an experience never to be forgotten, and all was captured on video from 3 separate fixed cameras, plus my wife Elaine's excellent efforts from the optional chase plane.
These guys are the ultimate professionals and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to complete that last item on the bucket list. It doesn't get any better.

An excellent and long awaited day. Superb staff, excellent, warm welcome, very well taken care of with great instruction and information. Sensational flight, sensational day.

Great overall experience - ticked off all the boxes. High on my bucket list and delivered all. Staff and pilot were amazing and very accommodating. Well organized and great to deal with. Highly recommend this outfit!! Will not disappoint!

From booking the Spitfire flight through to the flight itself was an unforgettable experience, booking with Sylwia was very easy. The whole day was very well organised and the briefing was very thorough. Would recommend this experience to anybody. Also well worth booking the Chase Plane magnificent views of the Spitfire.

what a great day, brilliant people, thrill of a life time,
it great to fly in a spitfire the pilot is a top bloke and a
very experienced pilot. felt safe at all times, the tour of
the workshop is a real eye opener, it is spotlessley
clean and the tour guide is very knoledgeable.
if you get a chance do it. i am glad i did

Amazing experience. My husband was in the spitfire. Hadn’t stopped grinning everytime he thinks about it. It’s Tuesday he flew Sunday! We were in the chaser plane so really felt part of the experience. An amazing memory made

What an amazing experience! A close friend bought me this for my 70th, Nige was our instructor, what a top bloke!

I've flown light aircraft before, but this was on another level, so realistic. Nige calmly talked me though the basics and Victory rolls and loop the loops. Flying around the Needles was great fun. The final Victory roll over the Solent and HMS Queen Elizabeth topped an amazing time. 9 out of 6 Nige!

Great people, great experience. It was all professionally done and all staff at Fly a Spitfire are so friendly and helpful. If you dont do the flight then you must do the hangar tour at Biggin Hill where you are constantly reminded that the planes are still with us but not the brave pilots who flew them for us. I went up in the spitfire "Grey Nurse" at Cotswold airport and it was superb and unforgettable. My pilot Barry flew us out towards Stroud and we flew over our house! I even took control for about a minute. There is a great cafe there called AV8 where your friends can get a coffee while they wait your return. Afterwards we went to the Thames Head Pub 5 mins away for a great meal. All in, a fantastic and truly memorable experience.

This company is a complete scam. They cancelled my flight due to weather and then refused to refund all my money. On top of that they told me they were keeping £92 for credit card fees but then kept over £140. Absolute scam and fraudulent!

From the time we arrived to the time we left, there was nothing more they could have done to make this experience more memorable. All the staff, and especially my pilot Adam Green, who, without doubt, has the best job in the world! made the day, which on this occasion was my 60th birthday, even more special, and when we flew over the white cliffs of Dover, I thought it could not get better than this, but it did as for a short time I was given control of the Spitfire and then Adam did a victory roll, a perfect end to a perfect day, and I forgot to mention you have the whole fight recorded for you to take away to relive the experience over and over again. I just want to say once again a big thank you to everyone at Warbird Experiences (Fly A Spitfire.com) who were fantastic.

We, the McMullan family wish to thank all the fantastic team involved in ensuring Robert had a wonderful experience flying in a Spitfire. Your professionalism, caring attitude and patience made one man and his family very happy. Once again our grateful thanks to you all.

Friendly welcome from all the staff. Flying in MT818 with the Pilot Jeremy Britcher was a sheer pleasure. He is a true Ambassador for the company and makes you very relaxed throughout your flight.
I would recommend this company to anyone and enjoy a lifetime experience.

An excellent experience and well organised. Can't recommend them highly enough.

It was a fabulous experience on my 70th birthday. Very relaxed, no rush, no pressure and all procedures, expectations and possible issues were fully and clearly communicated. My pilot, Adam Green, provided a faultless flight and like all others supporting the operation was friendly and welcoming. The hanger tour was a nice addition and our guide, Simon, was clearly extremely knowledgeable about all that is displayed.
Many thanks to all who provided a very memorable day.

Absolutely Fantastic. Was on my bucket list and now on my 'To Do Again' list.

One of the greatest days of my life, an absolute must for anyone. The experience from start to finish was spot on and a big thanks to all the team at Into The Blue. The flight was memorable and actually getting to fly the Spitfire just incredible. I will never forget the victory rolls over Beachy Head on such a clear blue day. If you are interested, I have posted a video on line. "Spitfire flight over Beachy Head"
