Details for the 45 Minute Tiger Moth Flight in Dorset

Product ID: 18054

Take to the skies on a 45-minute Tiger Moth flight from the wonderful Compton Abbas Airfield in Dorset. Friendly, welcoming and steeped in aviation history, it’s an ideal setting to experience the thrill of flying in this iconic vintage biplane. Perched high on a plateau on the western edge of Cranborne Chase, Compton Abbas is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. At 803ft above sea level, the airfield’s spectacular location makes taking off in a Tiger Moth a memorable experience from the very start. Once airborne, settle into the open cockpit and enjoy 45 minutes of classic aviation. Feel the wind around you as you gaze through the wing struts, taking in sweeping views across the chalk hills and picturesque Dorset countryside below. With an extended 45 minutes in the air, there’s even more time to soak up the scenery and experience the sights, sounds and sensations of open-cockpit flying. It’s an unforgettable opportunity to discover the magic of aviation from a bygone era.

Before I booked my flight experience the voucher I had been gifted was due to expire. Into the blue were great. It was extended for another year, no problem, no fuss.On the day, it was brilliant. Compton Abbas Is a fantastic location and with 2 Spitfires and a P51 mustang also flying the atmosphere was buzzing. The tiger moth I flew in was almost brand new having recently been fully restored. My pilot was great and the flight something I will always remember.

I loved my Tiger Moth flight experience. It had to be rescheduled a few times due to the weather but nothing was too much trouble. On the actual day, everything was super smooth, from check in with Gerald, being strapped in with Phil, the props and chocks man Andy and then of course the very brilliant David who piloted the beautiful plane. A wonderful day, highly recommended
