Tiger Moth Bi-Plane

Tiger Moth Flying Experience

Don your ‘biggles’ helmet and goggles and climb aboard the vintage Tiger Moth Bi-Plane for a nostalgic flight experience.

First flown in 1933 the Tiger Moth is known as ‘the classic’ biplane. You will fly in this open cockpit aircraft with fantastic views as the wind rushes over your face. Flying with an experienced vintage aircraft pilot instructor you will have the opportunity to take the controls and try your hand at being that 1940’s student pilot. What’s included: Pre-flight familiarisation and safety briefings, and this amazing once in a lifetime flight.

The experience includes entry to the superb Imperial War Museum at Duxford. A Tiger Moth Experience is the ultimate in flying experiences!

All of our gift experiences are presented in an attractive red case with "Congratulations - you are the lucky recipient of a Well Wicked experience day" written on the front. You will also get a DVD featuring many of our experiences. Experience vouchers can be personalised if required.
