Fly a Spitfire - Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar
About
Fly a Spitfire is the UK’s leading provider of authentic World War II flight experiences, based at the historic RAF Biggin Hill airfield. Visitors can take a two‑seat Spitfire on a 30–75‑minute flight over scenic Kent and Sussex, giving them a live view of the Battle of Britain’s iconic skies. In addition to the flagship fighter, the company offers P‑51 Mustang and Chase Plane flights, as well as film‑TV displays and veteran aircraft tours. The venue also houses the Spitfire Factory, a world‑class restoration workshop that has returned 15 Spitfires to airworthy condition.
