Fly in a Hurricane
We are extremely excited to be working with Hurricane Heritage offers a range of different flight experiences in the worlds only two seat Hurricane. These vary in length, starting at 30-minutes, 45-minutes, up to 65-minutes. These flights will depart our home, the historic White Waltham Airfield which is situated just west of London and has superb transport links. The airfield itself has ample parking, viewing areas with outside seating and a welcoming clubhouse with bar/restaurant so your guests can enjoy the day as well.
Each of our passengers is given a detailed pre-flight safety briefing, then equipped with a fitted flight suit, helmet and gloves. They will then join one of our experienced warbird pilots at the aircraft, where a member of our ground crew team will assist in securely strapping them into the aircraft’s rear seat. There will then be plenty of time to become familiar with the cockpit and safety procedures, before setting off on an adventure of a lifetime.
At our pilot’s discretion, you will be given the opportunity to experience a number of aerobatic manoeuvres, explore the surrounding historic landscape and even take control of the aircraft yourself if you wish.
Our 65-minute Hurricane flight experience has been specifically designed for those who wish to take the aircraft down to the English Channel and fly around the Isle of Wight and The Needles. If you have specific areas you’d like to fly over we are happy to discuss this prior to the flight and see what is possible.
30-Minute Hurricane Flight: £2850
Strap into the world’s only two seat Hurricane and experience the sound and feel of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin start. You’ll then taxi out for your pre-flight checks before lining up on the runway and feeling the 1,300hp Merlin pulling you gracefully into the air. Once airborne you’ll get to enjoy the sight of the Hurricane’s wings passing over England’s green and pleasant land. Subject to your pilot and weather conditions you’ll be given the opportunity to undertake some aerobatics if you wish and experience the incredible manoeuvrability that has given the Hurricane it’s reputation. You will also be given the option to fly the aircraft yourself.
45-Minute Hurricane
Flight: £3850
The 45-minute experience follows the same format as the 30-minute Hurricane flight, however the extra time will give you much more opportunity to try your hand at flying this Battle of Britain icon. It also allows you to fly further afield and see a number of WW2 landmarks.
