Agent K if you look carefully at the Aero Legends website (http://www.aerolegends.co.uk) you will see the following:-

Tiger Moth, Harvard, 20 Minutes Spitfire cost share £4,900.00.

For this you will fly in a Tiger Moth either G-PWBE or G-ANMO (& G-ANDE when its restoration is finished), a Harvard IV G-BGPB & then in Sptfire T9 PV202. When the Aero Legends Spitfire NH341 (G-CICK) has finished its restoration & conversion to twin seat you will then fly in this aircraft. Nobody has mentioned anything about flying in a Hurricane.

The Harvard IV & Spitfire T9 will be supplied by ARCO at Duxford & it is presumed that they will supply the pilots to fly their aircraft.

There is certainly been lots of interest – I must start saving!

Trumper after many years of problems with the locals the airfield now has their backing they have now realised that the airfield is an asset & brings money in to the local economy. The Lashenden Air Warfare Museum is erecting a new display hall to house more of its stored exhibits & the Fi103 R-4 Reichenberg & we now have Aero Legends operating from Lashenden (Headcorn). Things can only get better with several warbirds bieng based there!

Just checked with Aero Legends and my earlier posting about having a special dispensation from the CAA was not correct. Sorry about that.

They said the following:

“As a member of their club customers become eligible for a cost share ride under the terms of the newly revised CAA rules on cost sharing. Aero Legends are offering such an opportunity under their Battle of Britain flight package.”

2 Tiger Moths (G-PWBE, G-ANMO) with a 3rd under restoration (G-ANDE) Spitfire HF IX (G-CGYJ) with a 2nd under restoration (G-CICK) a Harvard & a Hurricane (yet to be registered) will be based at Lashenden (Headcorn) aerodrome when work is completed on their hangar space near the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum & the aircraft restorations are completed.

Fly in a Spitfire Air Experience Flights NO licence needed!

This Sunday will see the launch of an exciting new venture at Headcorn Aerodrome which will provide the opportunity for the public to take air experience flights in a Spitfire, T6 Harvard and Tiger Moth. The Battle of Britain Flight Experience will be launched this Sunday with two Spitfires flying along with an RAF Tiger Moth. Eventually two Tigers and a T6 will operate at Headcorn with a two seat Spitfire flying in

Two Spitfires (single & twin seat) will arrive about 9.15am for the press launch with both aircraft flying hourly from 12 noon.

Air Experience flights start from the 1st July
