What could be more befitting than flying a Tiger Moth plane at the historic home of the Tiger Club! Your experience takes place at Redhill Aerodrome & back in the heyday of civilian flying this airport played a very pivotal role in the flying of Tiger Moths. This airstrip in Surrey was the base of the famous Tiger Club between 1959 & 1990 where pilots honed their aerobatic & formation flying skills to put on impressive displays to wow the crowds all around the country as well as starting air racing competitions. Nothing quiet so daredevil today in your vintage Tiger Moth but on longer plane flights you might be able to (easily) persuade the pilot to pull a couple of moves! The Tiger Moth plane you'll be flying in is G-AKUE one of the rare Portuguese-built De Havilland Tiger Moths. Painted up in a rather fetching dark blue with red & white fuselage stripes this very handsome Tiger Moth dates back to 1939. The plane is well-travelled with stints in Mozambique & Northern Rhodesia where she was known as ' Nokomis' (daughter of the moon) & worked as a general transport provider before somehow heading to the plains of Surrey. This DH82a version of the Tiger Moth is a delightful plane to fly & for all these experiences you'll be kitted out in authentic flying jacket & aviator helmet for a truly nostalgic flight. We are offering various flight durations so there is something to suit every budget from a 15 minute taster to get a feel for what it's like to be in an open cockpit plane to a full 40 minute flight where you'll get great views of the Kent & Surrey countryside. If you buy this experience for any aviation fan we are sure just the fact that they can get up close to a Tiger Moth plane is a thrill in itself let alone actually taking off in one & then even having a go at the controls. We think these Tiger Moth flights in Surrey offer a fantastic day out at an historic airfield that will be cherished by the lucky flyer. Indeed with spectators welcome to join you to watch the take off circuits & landing we're sure it'll be a memorable day out for all the family. ...

Now booking: Tiger Moth flights out of North Weald Airfield! Take off in a vintage Tiger Moth biplane from this historic airfield just north of Epping. With a full range of flight durations available we've got an experience to suit you. We are offering 15 30 45 & 60-minute Tiger Moth flights from North Weald. Sitting pretty in the north Essex countryside this is a great little general aviation airfield. It's steeped in history too having been created as RAF North Weald in 1916 & served as a strategic fighter base in WW2 & beyond. Various squadrons have been based at North Weald over the years & everything from Hurricanes & Bristol Blenheims to Gloster Meteors & de Havilland Vampires were commonplace in these skies above Epping. These days the airfield sees its fair share of vintage aircraft flying including these lovely Tiger Moths. The operator running these flights out of North Weald has a trio of Tiger Moths to choose from. You may not know in advance which particular Moth will be flying during your day but all are beautifully restored to be the flying beauties they truly are. Everyone (even captains on those fancy high-tech modern airliners) love the Tiger Moth. There's something just so magical about this tail-dragger open-cockpit biplane. It has bags of charm & is so pretty. It wasn't just about looks though the Moth was the primary trainer for many an Air Force for many a year. This Epping team will tell you that's because the Moth is: 'a robust aircraft that is generally docile & forgiving in normal flight'. But we have to add that does not make this plane boring to fly
- far from it in fact as you'll find out for yourself on these experiences. & don't forget all Tiger Moth flights at North Weald are treated as trial lessons which means you get to have a go at flying the plane just like all those keen young RAF pilot trainees in years gone by. Once your pilot instructor has handled take off & reached level flight it's over to you! Reserve your slot now before they all get booked up
- Moths generally only fly between March & October.
