Activity Details
With basic controls and an open-cockpit, you will instantly feel the nostalgia as you don goggles, helmet and sheepskin jacket - and strap yourself in. And when the engine splutters into life and you take-in your first breath with the faint aroma of burnt oil, you know you are ready for the experience of a lifetime!

The de Havilland Tiger Moth is one of the world's most famous training aircraft. During the Second World War it provided the majority of RAF pilots with their elementary flying training.

In the 1950's the British Government sold off surplus Tiger Moths and their parts at rock-bottom prices - £50 for a flyable Tiger Moth, £5 for an engine.

Nowadays Tiger Moths are costing thousands of Pounds to maintain and every year the opportunity to fly these living legends continues to slip away, as flying clubs struggle to afford their upkeep.

Now is an opportunity to spend a brief period living the life of those brave RAF pilots, who trained on Tiger Moths and went on to fly Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Includes:-

- 30 minute Trial Lesson or pleasure flight in a DH82A de Havilland Tiger Moth

NOTE: At Manston and Romford the aircraft used is a Boeing Stearman which was the US Army Air Corps equivalent to the Tiger Moth used by the RAF. The flight itself lasts for 30 minutes but you should allow approximately one hour for this experience.
