Aero Legends Reviews

We arrived at Headcorn on the 14/9/23 a beautiful sunny day It was airless as the wind socks just hung vertically. Met by Jane in dispersal she signed us in set up our video briefing and when complete we were booted and suited ready for flying. We arranged with Jane a further flight in a Harvard that would fly in formation with the spitfire this would allow us to take such memorable films, I would fly along side my wife and another party member would fly along side me. We met Richard Ward pilot of the Harvard who explained the flight detail and then met Anthony Parkinson the spitfire pilot who completed the flight plan of the spitfire. I went up first in the Harvard and awaited the arrival of my wife in the spitfire, words cannot explain the feeling, the rush, the excitement as the spitfire cruised up along side almost what seemed like touching distance, I took some great video footage which we will both treasure for the rest of our lives. My wife flew off to do her sortie and Richard took me through victory rolls and loops in the Harvard ( Brilliant ) when we landed I said to Richard ( wow how do you beat that ) he replied you will when you get in the spitfire later, how right he was. I took off with Parky as he likes to be called at 14:00 hrs and met up with the Harvard we flew in formation banking from side to side eventually flying off to complete our sortie we flew to the White Cliffs of Dover and over the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-Le-Ferne, you cannot help but think of the pilots in WW2 who flew in these planes in the very airspace we now occupied. We completed barrel rolls and then Parky let me take control of the spitfire and I completed some banking manoeuvres, I was asked do you want to do a loop? (YES Please ) I will never be able to explain the experience words cannot do it justice and arriving all to soon back over the airfield we completed the sortie with a victory roll, What a day I flew in a SPITFIRE I flew a SPITFIRE my pilot was ex Red Arrows and to top it all off I got to watch my wife do the same it doesn’t get any better than that. Thank you Aero Legends Thank you Jane, Richard, Parky and the ground crew.

Great experience. As far as everyone there is concerned it is your day and cannot do enough for you. Absolutely brilliant flight with my pilot taking me through the entire flight. Would love to do it again.

Apart from the rear facing in-cockpit camera failure, the experience was all and more than I expected. Living the dream!!

An experience to savour in the most beautiful airframe - Mk9 Spitfire, MJ444 “Lady Luck”. Flt Lt Anthony (Parky) Parkinson, makes it an experience to remember with his easy manner and engaging personality and the rest of the team make you feel a part of the family. Wonderful experience

A great day flying the Tigernoth plane. Great staff who are very knowledgable and competent. Highly recommend

Bought an experience for my husband's birthday and it was an incredible day! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. I was a bit worried about waiting around with my 1 year old all afternoon but she was so happy watching the planes taxi past the cafe while we were eating our picnic. The staff make you feel very special as they are aware this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most, and my husband had the best experience. Would recommend to anyone!

Everything you could expect is in the ride. The excitement of flying in a real Spitfire with all the thrills and spills of the aerobatics. For me there was also the profound pleasure of flying up into the cotton wool clouds and looking down at the shadow of a lone Spitfire flying across the patchwork of Kent countryside towards our coast and the French coast beyond. And then a victory roll above the White Cliffs of Dover......awesome! You can't fly in a Concorde, but you can fly in a Spitfire. Thank you to everyone past and present who has made this possible. Worth every penny.
