Default gift? flight in a Spitfire?

I dont think they offer flights to the public in that thing! If they did it would probably cost a pretty packet!

says it all - theres a HUGE waiting list, literally 12 months+, so you might want to look at an alternative. Saying that my uncle went for a go last year and loved it! (Though they had problems with the undercarriage and had to do a tower flypast to check the gear was down)

Thanks for the link. I didn't see anything there about a waiting list?

Me and my mates from the TA would be willing to wait however long it takes if there is a way to get on to the list with the promise of a great flight at the end of it.

I thought you had a 2 seater Spitfire, to arrange a fligh for your old fella, simply enter a corner to quickly and a short but interesting flight will occur, sort of victory roll, without any victory.
