- & this is your chance to fly in a fully restored Harvard. This Harvard has a fascinating history. Now registered as G-BJST but liveried up & flying in authentic RAF training colours with serial number KF729 there is actually no historical proof this particular Harvard flew with the British Air Forces as mysteriously all the original log books were all lost… In fact aviation historians think the plane was built by the Canadian Car Factory in 1953 & was flown by the USAF before flying with the Italian Air Force as MM53795. After all these years you can now fly in this Harvard out of Duxford in Cambrideshire & what a wonderful sight it is!A powerful trainer aircraft for pilots that was easily capable of aerobatics a Harvard in flight is very distin...

Zoom through the skies over Epping on these Harvard lessons from North Weald Airfield! Experience war bird flying at its best with this full range of flight durations for Harvard flights out of historic North Weald. Whether you know it as the Harvard or the North American T-6 there's no denying this plane is a legend. For many many years the Harvard was used as the main second-level trainer plane by air forces around the world. Being a low-wing monoplane it would have been quite a big step up from flying biplanes like the Tiger Moth. Aspiring fighter pilots couldn't wait to get their hands on the Harvard. Way more powerful than anything they would have previously flown during training so far it was a real baptism of fire for these young pilots to see if they could handle the Harvard. Those who did often went on to become bonafide fighter pilots now it's your turn to see if you can earn your stripes! The Harvard you will be flying in for your lesson at North Weald Airfield was built in 1943. After various missions the plane was sent as part of a 10-plane consignment to serve with the Haitian Air Force. It's believed this particular Harvard is the only one to have survived when she was returned to the USA in 1982. Eventually arriving in the UK in 1989 the Harvard was re-registered as G-DDMV. She was fully restored by the current owners when she was purchased in 2015 & this delightful plane now flies resplendent in her yellow training colours over the skies of Epping & north Essex. We are offering 15 20 40 & 60-minute Harvard flights out of North Weald. Each one gives you enough time to savour the sheer energy acceleration & power of this impressive plane. & being a lesson you'll even time to have a go at the controls so you will actually be flying this lovely Harvard yourself for a short while. Make sure you wave to your friends & family waiting back at the North Weald base as you soar past in your Harvard! ...

Experience the wonderful world of warbirds with these Harvard flights at White Waltham! This is your chance to take to the skies above Berkshire in a superlative example of these much-loved training aircraft from another era. Whether you know it as the American T6 Texan or the Harvard (as it was called in the Commonwealth) this plane is pretty legendary. It served as a great war time trainer for young pilots who then went on to fly fighter planes on daring missions. It's an iconic warbird & anyone who's into their classic aviation will want to fly in one. No need to cross the Atlantic to fly in a Harvard though as this one is based in Berkshire. Operating out of White Waltham Airfield near Maidenhead is certainly befitting as the airfield was used as an Air Transport Auxiliary base during WW2 whence aircraft were dispatched & delivered to the forces. Today White Waltham is home to one of the largest flying clubs in the country. With excellent on-site facilities including a club... ...

Thrilling Harvard flights over the Essex skies! This is your chance to climb aboard a vintage Harvard & fly out of Earls Colne airfield near Colchester for a truly exhilarating warbird experience that is sure to take your breath away. This Harvard is a genuine World War Two veteran. Having been built in Dallas Texas in 1942 this Texan trainer first served with the US Air Force. She was then down to be transferred to the RAF as a Harvard IIA but somehow ended up being amongst a shipment of 436 aircraft destined for the South African Air Force. & that's where she stayed working as a fighter trainer until 1969. This time she was sent to serve with the Portuguese Air Force until 1978 when she was decommissioned. By 1979 this well-travelled plane had reached British shores where she was re-registered as G-TSIX (nice choice!). Passing through various ownerships G-TSIX has been a regular feature at fly-ins fly pasts & air shows for many years resplendent in her US Navy Trainer colours. Now settled at Earls Colne airfield just outside Colchester this delightful Harvard flies vintage aviation enthusiasts in the skies above Essex on these fabulous flights. We have selected a range of experiences
- all of which include a comprehensive 30-minute pre-flight briefing & plenty of time to get to know this wonderful aircraft. You'll be kitted out in a full RAF-style flying suit for your Harvard flight. Your pilot in Earls Colne will be Nigel Willson the flying school's chief pilot. He is massively experienced when it comes to flying these magnificent warbirds & is an accomplished display pilot & organiser. & in fact we are offering a taste of those display pilot skills with an aerobatics add-on to give the standard 20-minute flight that extra G-force thrill! As well as the full-range of single flight durations we also offer the rather special Duxford day out. This is a landaway experience where you'll take off from Earls Colne in the Harvard fly across Essex to Duxford then explore the wonderful museum for a couple of hours before heading back in the Harvard to base for tea. All very civilised! If you love your vintage aviation you will love these Harvard flights in Essex. Buy your voucher book your slot & get ready to fly in this genuine WW2 fighter trainer.
