Soon after take off, the Spitfire will join alongside you and fly on both sides of the aircraft, providing spectacular opportunities to take video or photographs through the large windows.
The Chase Plane is a high-wing aircraft so there are no obstructions of the view as you get an unrivalled view of the Spitfire and Kent countryside steeped in Battle of Britain history, before returning to RAF Biggin Hill – the most pivotal fighter station in the battle.
Once you’re back on the ground you can meet your Spitfire pilot and pose for pictures with the aircraft.
