Free from airspace restrictions, customers can experience a whole raft of classic Spitfire flight manoeuvres and a higher level of flight freedom. Perform the whole raft of classic Spitfire flight aerobatics and manoeuvres above the airfield for your friends and family to see. We do not restrict guest numbers or charge you to invite them.
