Experience Days - War Planes
11 Answers
Hello,
It is the OH's birthday soon and he is a keen war plane enthusiast - not really my thing. I was wondering if anyone knows of a website that offers a war plane flight experience?
I have googled the usual suspects but can only find a Tiger Moth which isn't really what I am looking for. I don't know which plane is his favourite but I am pretty sure he would love any old plane from war that has history (all). I have tried googling war plane experiences, but having a limited knowledge of war planes I can't really advance search.
Can anyone suggest a website that offers this type of experience?
Thanks GF

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I clambered over a Lancaster bomber once but we didn`t take off. It was cramped and must have been extremely scary to have operated in one. The rear gunner sat in a sort of leither sling-seat with his head in a bubble like a sitting duck. I climbed into the nose-cone at the front which was just a glass bubble.
Could try this, but it may be rather dangerous: http://tinyurl.com/3achdqd

There's a company in Duxford Cambs which offers Tiger Moth flights as well as De Havilland Rapide flights over London I think. At Coventry Airport Classic Flight does De Havilland Rapide flights and they also do a tour round the country but the season for that is now probably over. Do a search for Classic Flight Airbase Coventry and you might get next year's details. Certainly no commercial warplanes offer flights in UK. Probably Health Safety!
