About the experience
Product ID: 12998
Explore the South East as you jump aboard a Vintage Tiger Moth flight from Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent! For those of you who love your history and flying, this experience will be right up your alley. Shortly after arriving, you'll meet with a friendly instructor who will run you through a short pre-flight briefing where you'll get some information on how to fly these historic planes, before taking to the skies. There are a couple of models on offer here and you could be flying in the G-ANMO or the G-PWBE Tiger Moths as Headcorn is home to both of them. The former was built for the RAF in 1934, and the later built in 1959 for post war use in Australia. Both have a long and interesting history and are equipped with dual control, so if you're feeling brave on the day, you'll be able to steer these beasts through the skies yourself! With marvellous views promised across the Kent countryside and a chance to experience a slice of history, you won't want to miss out on these Tiger Moth flying experiences from Kent for a once in a lifetime flight with history.

Everyone was welcoming and professional. Really enjoyed flight and the pilot was very reassuring. The Pilot took me around Headcorn and gave me information of where we were flying overland and as I was born in Headcorn I new and recognised all the places. The best bit was flying around Sissinghurst Castle which is one of my favourite places.
