Product ID: 17994

Fulfil your dream of flying in an iconic Spitfire with this unforgettable 55 Minute ‘Isle of Wight’ experience from Compton Abbas Airfield in Dorset. Operated by Aero Legends, your adventure takes place aboard a magnificent two-seater Spitfire. Set on a chalk hilltop within Cranborne Chase, Compton Abbas Airfield is perfectly positioned for an exhilarating flight over the spectacular South Coast and towards the Isle of Wight. Once airborne, experience the unmistakable thrill of flying in one of Britain’s most legendary aircraft as you head towards the dramatic coastline. Your extended 55-minute flight will take you towards the famous Needles and Isle of Wight, giving you plenty of time to enjoy incredible aerial views of the coast and surrounding countryside. With unrestricted airspace to explore, there may also be the opportunity to experience some thrilling aerobatic manoeuvres if conditions allow and you’re feeling adventurous. You could even have the chance to briefly take the controls and experience what it feels like to fly a Spitfire for yourself. The Aero Legends fleet includes NH341 ‘Elizabeth’, a beautifully restored Spitfire with an impressive military history, now configured as a two-seater and ready to take to the skies once again.
