About the experience
Take your adventure to new heights with these Tiger Moth flights over Derbyshire and Staffordshire! Nestled between Derby city centre and Burton-upon-Trent, Derby Airfield at Egginton is the perfect destination for a thrilling ride in a Tiger Moth. It's a family-run airfield that's home to the welcoming Derby Aero Club. Flying a Tiger Moth here is a rare privilege. The 30-minute 'Tutbury Tour' is an exclusive offer that takes you over the charming market town, where you can spot the majestic Tutbury Castle from the sky! The aircraft were designed as tandem trainers, so you get to sit in front while the pilot flies from behind. The stunning views of the Derbyshire/Staffordshire borders and the surrounding areas are breathtaking. Your loved ones can also accompany you to wave you off, and you can make it a perfect day out by bringing a picnic and a flask. Book your Tiger Moth flight now from Derbyshire's friendliest airfield for an unforgettable vintage aerial experience!
