Fly in a Chipmunk

See Northumberland and Newcastle from another aviation classic - the Chipmunk. Our 30 minute (£199) or 60 minute (£299) introductory flights offer a very different perspective on landmarks like Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and Tynemouth Priory.

de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk

Replacing the Tiger Moth as the RAF's primary training aircraft in 1950, you can follow in the footsteps of royalty as HRH Prince Philip took his first flying lesson in a Chipmunk in 1952 and King Charles received his initial military pilot training in a Chipmunk.

 

Go back in time to the 1950's and 1960's at your pre-flight briefing. Then it's time to don your flight suit. You'll be escorted by our friendly ground crew to the stunning G-BYSJ to climb into the back seat. Then sit back and marvel at the roar of the engine before a smooth take off for your vintage aviation adventure.​
