From the time we arrived to the time we left, there was nothing more they could have done to make this experience more memorable. All the staff, and especially my pilot Adam Green, who, without doubt, has the best job in the world! made the day, which on this occasion was my 60th birthday, even more special, and when we flew over the white cliffs of Dover, I thought it could not get better than this, but it did as for a short time I was given control of the Spitfire and then Adam did a victory roll, a perfect end to a perfect day, and I forgot to mention you have the whole fight recorded for you to take away to relive the experience over and over again. I just want to say once again a big thank you to everyone at Warbird Experiences (Fly A Spitfire.com) who where fantastic.

My family surprised me on the morning of my birthday and on arrival, the staff were so lovely and welcoming. We came a little early so we got to tour the heritage hanger before my flight in the spitfire. I just wanted to mention a special thank you to Laurie who went above and beyond all my expectations by finding so many opportunities to take some memorable pictures and being an excellent tour guide. Barry was my pilot for the flight and he gave some flight lessons whilst in the air (the basics such as how to move up and down and turn the plane right and left) and allowed me to 'mime' his movements before allowing me to fly by myself for quite some time which was a surreal experience. And all of the victory rolls we got to do was just the icing on the cake! I wouldn't say I felt butterflies whilst flying, but the view was absolutely stunning at Beachy Head and definitely seeing the world go upside down is a view I will never forget and would recommend everyone to experience at least once. Also wanted to mention another massive thank you to Sam and the other staff members for accommodating us with my balloons and birthday cake and allowing us to take (a lot of) group pictures in front of the Spitfire.

WOW, what an amazing, fantastic and memorable experience flying in a Spitfire over the Seven Sisters at sunset. My experience started at Biggen Hill with a guided tour of the Spitfire hanger, with my family and friends, led by Laurie. He was both very experienced and knowledgeable about the history and aircraft in the hanger, and we enjoyed every minute of his fun and informative guide. My flight was a 45 minute experience over the Seven Sisters with my family following in the spotter plane. The whole experience was just unbelievable, and amazing from beginning to end. My pilot for the flight was Barry, an incredibly gifted, fun and very experienced pilot who made the whole experience unforgettable. During the flight I was able to take the controls and Barry did some amazing rolls and aerobatics that showed the outstanding performance of the Spitfire, which literally took my breath away. This was a day I will never forget, and a memory that will be treasured with me and my family forever. Thank you to Barry, Laurie and all the team for giving both my family and I a WOW !!!! day. Amazing fun and incredible memories. Dr Terry Keech and Family.

an adventure of a life time, the staff involved were brilliant BUT the experience was beyond brilliant, it was amazing, thrilling, pilot makes your experience better with talking and passing all information while flying. it was once a dream now its something I'll never forget or beat. anyone thinking about this will be a fool not to do it.

I doubt words will do this experience justice but here goes... The family (19 of us) arrived at the venue for my birthday treat just in time to see a Spitfire take off and climb away. We were greeted by the staff and taken to the viewing area where I met more staff and completed the required paperwork. I had a short safety brief to complement the emailed video I had received earlier. Jez the Spitfire pilot introduced himself and ran through the flight plan. I made a spot decision to include the grandchildren in the experience and paid for two chase planes; I don't think you could ever put a price on memories like this? Whilst waiting for the Spitfire to be refueled several of us had an included guided tour of the hangars where we saw complete vintage aircraft and also those under restoration with great photo opportunities. Lots of interesting facts from our guide, many thanks👍 Once the Tour was over it was time to get into flying overalls and into the plane for the flight. Safety actions were covered again and we set off in company with the chase planes. The flight was amazing with up close tracking of the chase planes on each side giving the grandchildren superb views of "Gramps" flying alongside them. Once we broke away we carried out two victory rolls before Jez passed control of the Spitfire to me. A few directed manoeuvres of this amazing plane in my hands, a stunnning aircraft and a childhood dream come true. The weather conditions were perfect and allowed for great views over the Kent countryside. After returning to Biggin Hill we had photo opportunities in front of the Spitfire before collecting the video sim cards and gift pack before leaving. I don't think I stopped smiling during the whole experience. Many thanks to Jez the Spitfire pilot, the chase plane pilots and all the staff for an amazing experience.

I cannot explain how much I enjoyed this day. From the minute I walked in everyone was so attentive and made sure I enjoyed the experience. Barry my pilot let me take controls with very clear instructions and we did the Victory Roll. The Tour was just a pleasurable and & we learnt so much about the Spitfire & it's history along with building etc. I am so lucky to have a husband who bought this for my birthday. The whole experience from the booking through to end was perfect. Denise

What an experience! It was everything I expected and more. The staff were brilliant throughout and went above and beyond to ensure my day was as memorable as possible. I can’t fault any aspect of this booking and the overall experience. I would like to express a huge thank you to Laurie, our tour guide of the Heritage hanger was unbelievable thanks to his great knowledge and Anna for looking after us. Also, a massive thank you to my pilot Daniel for the best Spitfire experience, especially the Victory roll and trusting me to take control of the Spitfire and fly myself. Another big thanks to all the ground staff too. If you want to fly a Spitfire, you must do it from Biggin Hill and fly over the Kent countryside where the battles took place, it really is an amazing experience!

Went on the Heritage Hangar tour. They have some amazing, historic equipment there. Our guide was very well-informed, both historically and technically, and had many amusing stories - a couple edgier than I had expected. For £50 a ticket we got nearly two hours of moving, unforgettable, riveting (😂) and totally enjoyable entertainment. Great value, and we had a small group of just seven. I now understand why the flights cost so much.

Thursday 26 October was the day a small part of the Crowborough u3a Aviation Group visited the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar. Prior to the visit we already got a taster of the service provision of this organisation. Trying to get a group in on a specific date when the website provided dates had run out was one headache, twice adding one more person was another challenge. Getting the group in on our required date was beatifully accomodated, and adding 2 more people to the total was also met with great flexibility. We hadn't yet seen one aircraft and quality had already been served. A very big and warm thank you to Avril and her colleague. Then onto the tour, where we first met James our tourguide. We could not have wished for a better person to guide us round the hangars than James. His knowledge proved encyclopedic. Providing new facts and figures to people who by nature of their interest and background have already a fairly extended knowledge of the subject is an achievement. We spent an excellent few hours in his company, and in an environment where all these illustrious aircraft we know so well, are worked on at touching distance. Be it the entirely newbuilding of Spitfire wings, or the overhaul of other components, it was absolutely fabulous to see. Also the presence of young chaps who, likely as apprentices, will learn a trade from scratch and later become highly sought after craftspeople was good to see. Writing about all this is one, trying to transfer a vibrant environment in sounds and eye candy is not really possible. If one wants to experience that, a visit tot he hangars is highly recommend, even if one is not an aircraft buff. The group had a great time and some of us will very likely return if not only for a flight. Many thanks to all at the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar who have made our visit an absolute succes.

Just felt so privileged to be up close and personal to many famous aircraft. Austin, our guide was very knowledgeable and amazed us all with his stories an facts.. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to see this important piece of our heritage and the work being done to preserve these amazing planes. ( Not just Spitfires)
