Fulfil your dream of flying in an iconic Spitfire with this unforgettable 40 Minute ‘Needles’ experience from Compton Abbas Airfield in Dorset. Operated by Aero Legends, your adventure takes place aboard a magnificent two-seater Spitfire. Perched on a chalk hilltop within Cranborne Chase, Compton Abbas Airfield provides the perfect starting point for an exhilarating flight across the stunning South Coast.
