Flight in 2 Seater Spitfire
Good evening all, hope everyone's had a good day - fantastic weather!!!
My husband and I's 10th wedding anniversary is coming up next year, and we've been through an awful lot! We're more in love now than ever and I would like to thank him in a very special way.
Does anyone have any contact details where I can purchase a flight in a 2 seater Spitfire? I know it's v.expensive! but it would be worth it. My husband has LOVED this aircraft all his life and I can't think of a more perfect present that he will cherish for the rest of his life.
Please help.
Thank you.
Nicola.

One of my ex-UAS students managed to buy her father a flight in the back of Carolyn Grace's Spitfire for his 70th birthday. According to Jane, the smile on his face is still there!
Wishing you luck for a successful outcome!

Nicola, there are three more two seaters in the UK - I don't know how they are fixed for giving joy rides - they are owned by Historic Flying at Duxford, Anthony Hodgson / Dragon Flight in North Wales, and Maurice Bayliss which I thik is based at East Kirby in Lincolnshire. Bit of Googling might find you the contact details. Good luck with it, wish I had a wife (or daughter) who'd buy me a ride in a Spitfire!

Great present.
I see you now have the details for the 'Dragon'. I flew in this last July and can thoroughly recommend it. It is a lot of money, but they take the time to go thru all the bits and pieces, and it is truely a special day.
Anthony will pretty much do whatever you want, and this include taking the controls.
...and yes, the smile is still with me.
