About the experience
Product ID: 15147
Embrace Britain's rich aviation history with a 30 Minute Flight in the iconic Tiger Moth plane from Breighton Airfield in Selby. It's not every day that the opportunity arises to get so close to history and experience it for yourself, so you'll want to snap up a place on this vintage flight across Yorkshire. Tiger Moths were built in Britain to help train pilots in the lead up to WW2, and most enjoyed a fruitful history throughout the conflict. As soon as you take a seat in this historic cockpit, and soak up the smells and sounds of this iconic plane, you'll be transported back to the 1930s and 1940s. With the rumbling engine that will have you soaring through the skies over Yorkshire, and an open cockpit leaving you slightly windswept, you'll get an authentic experience of what daily life was like for RAF pilots in the lead up to the war. What makes this experience even better is that you'll be dressed to the nines in a flying suit, goggles and helmet, not only providing you with some well needed protection from the natural elements but a uniform not too dissimilar to what would have been worn many years ago. If you are fascinated by history and are craving a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an iconic plane that played such a vital role in the last century, you won't want to miss out on this vintage flight from Selby. Hurry, as these spaces do fill up quickly - but everything can be booked with a few clicks online!

A great day at Breighton with a wonderful flight in the Tiger Moth.Everyone involved treated me really well, ensuring that I was kitted out with a suitable flying overall and helmet.I was able to have a good conversation with the pilot as we shared memories of time in the RAF. It was altogether a fantastic experience.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I did the 60 minute experience which included flying over York and Castle Howard. This Tiger Moth is a beautiful aircraft to fly in. Ive done hundreds of hours in many different aircraft and this tops them all. I cant recommend this experience enough.

Had a great flight, my first experience in an open cockpit. The pilot and the other staff were really good, friendly and efficient and the aircraft a joy to handle.

It took a while for various reasons but on a crisp clear day on November 17th I finally took off from Breighton Airfield for an enchanting if somewhat chilly, flight of a lifetime.We flew west, eventually flying around the Emley Moor Mast experiencing a bumpy ride as we did so We flew past my home village of Flockton and then headed east overflying at fairly low level Finningley with its resident Vulcan and Canberra aircraft before landing very gently back on the ground.Very many thanks for a wonderful unforgettable experience to all there at Breighton, but especially to Alison for her patience and understanding during my earlier unavailability.
