About the experience
Prepare to take flight into a golden age of military aviation with a 40 minute flight in a vintage Tiger Moth biplane at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire. This iconic training aircraft built and designed by de Havilland in the early 1930s trained many fighter pilots during World War II, and it continues to be held in high regard by heritage aviation enthusiasts to this day. You'll be sat in the passenger seat of the cockpit with an expert pilot at the controls on your glorious flight above this historic air base. And the step back in retro aviation time continues when you're back on the ground, as your experience also included complimentary admission to the Imperial War Museum itself, offering numerous planes, exhibitions and displays to discover that all adds up to an unforgettable day.
