No advice whatsoever, but I'm seriously jealous.

...oh and if it looks like a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in your rear view mirror it probably is. Shoot first, ask questions later. Good luck.

In one answer, bloody enjoy it, it's one of those once in a lifetime events.
Don't forget to wear a fake moustache!

There’s 3 or 4 places you can do it. I used these people, and was utterly delighted.

I know there’s one that operates out of Duxford, and another oxford-ish.

Enjoy!

No advice except to say enjoy it! Hope it's brilliant (how could it not be)!

I flew on Concorde if that helps :smile:

Seriously I’m jealous. I believe the owner of Panorama Holidays bought a Spitfire when he sold the company. Great investment I suggest.

You're lucky - they usually come through Kent - so I spent half an hour of my day
today staring at an empty sky - b******s
