What's included
Once seated comfortably, you’ll take off and join your aircraft in flight. You are now flying in the airspace that some of the most intense aerial fighting took place, making it even more poignant to see the Spitfire as you fly with the Battle of Britain Memorial as the backdrop below.
The Spitfire flies within waving distance of you during the flight and you can pass requests for the pilot to position their aircraft for that perfect photo shot – you are truly in charge of your own ‘remote control’ Spitfire!
As you fly down the coast, you will be moved by the sight of the aircraft on one side and the French coast on the other – just 7 minutes Spitfire time away! Put yourself in the position of a young fighter pilot at that time – imagine the emotions he must have experienced in those moments before entering the battle.
Flying from the Memorial, you will then soar along the coast taking in Samphire Hoe; Dover harbour and Castle; the famous Twin Sisters aerials (part of the chain radar) that were intrinsic to the successful outcome of the Battle of Britain. Then you will see the White Cliffs of Dover – which as a backdrop to the Spitfire could not be a more emotive sight – these are the most remarkable opportunities you will ever have for air to air photography with the legendary Spitfire.
Flying on, the South Foreland lighthouse comes into sight, sitting proudly on the clifftop – this is the turning point on your flight, and again provides another magical backdrop.
Flying back along the coast, the aircraft will continue their specially choreographed routines giving all on board the perfect opportunities to take air to air photos with the coastline below.
Once past the Memorial, the flight returns to the airfield. On your return, you will be presented with a mounted picture of the Spitfire and our helicopter, to be taken away as a memento. This along with your own photographs will make a marvellous display and help you remember what will have been the Ultimate Experience.
