THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BOOKING A SPITFIRE EXPERIENCE...

THE COMPANY?

Spitfires.com, formerly known as Boultbee Flight Academy, was the first company in the world approved to give passenger flights in Spitfires, and is the first and only accredited Spitfire pilot training school. We have completed over 1000 Spitfire flights this season, and provide the highest level of safety equipment including military approved pilot helmets, for our customers.

GRASS RUNWAYS?

Spitfires were designed to operate from grass airfields. Goodwood Aerodrome, the headquarters of Spitfires.com, is the only original Battle of Britain all grass airfield that survives on the south coast of the United Kingdom. There is nothing like taxying out on the turf of what was previously known as RAF Westhampnett to really understand how it felt to scrambe during WW2.

WHITE CLIFFS?

Seeing white cliffs over the wing of the Spitfire is a part of the flight experience that most people want. Our shortest flight experience from Solent Airport will get you to the Needles in six minutes giving you time to do some aerobatics, fly yourself and get back. And a slightly longer fight from Goodwood will get you to Beachy Head. The white cliffs of Dover are also possible from either location.

TAKing THE CONTROLS?

The most memorable part of the Spitfire flight experience for most people is the moment they are given control of the aircraft themselves. Some people like to just try it for a few seconds. Others want significantly longer. We will always adapt to what the customer wants. No previous experience required!

AEROBATIC MANEUVERS?

As you might expect, the Spitfire is an exceptionally maneuverable and powerful aircraft. To get a sense of what it is capable of we offer the chance to try all the aerobatics that you'll have ever witnessed if you've seen a Spitfire display at an airshow, such as rolls and loops. Of course you don't have to, but it would be a shame not to do a victory roll!

CHASE PLANE?

Your Spitfire flight will be incredible. That we can promise. But how nice would it be to for your family to be able to share it with you? Not just on the ground, but airborne too? We have approval to fly a Chase plane in formation with your Spitfire that up to 5 of your family members and friends can take to the air in to accompany you... and maybe even get a photo for your mantlepiece!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS?

Don't take our word for it. Have a look at the hundreds of incredible Trip Advisor reviews that we've had that have given us a 5/5 score, and that have earned us Traveller's Choice awards for the past 3 years! Our customers are our best advertising. We go the extra length to make sure your Spitfire flight is one of the most memorable experiences of your life. See our reviews at the bottom of this page.

GOODWOOD

Spitfires.com offers flights and experiences around the UK in a number of locations. The headquarters is based at Goodwood Aerodrome, West Sussex, but wherever you fly you'll be able to take the controls yourself if you wish. All locations allow flight in unrestricted airspace so you will also always be able to try aerobatics such as loops and rolls if so desired. Goodwood is a former Battle of Britain Hurricane and Spitfire base, then known as RAF Westhampnett. It is the last remaining operational Battle of Britain grass field on the South Coast of England. It's location only minutes from the coast that allows all of the experiences on offer to be conducted in the very same skies and over the same land and sea that the Battle of Britain was fought over 75 years ago. Lee-On-Solent has significant D-Day Spitfire history and its proximity to the white cliffs of the Needles means your experience can be conducted around one of the most iconic land forms on the south coast of the United Kingdom. Exeter was also a WW2 airbase and covers the southwest of the UK and Leeds East, Formerly RAF Church Fenton is the best location for flights further North.
