What Can I Expect

Say hello to this classic Chipmunk in Blackpool! This beauty is ready and waiting to take you on an aerial adventure in the skies over lovely Lancashire for you to relish a taste of retro aviation.

This de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk 22 is a particularly nice example. Built in 1952 as a trainer for the RAF under serial number WK624, she retains many of her original features, such as the cockpit instrument set and her Gipsy Major Mk2 engine. And quite a glorious noise she makes too!

Having been demobbed in 1995 after decades of loyal service, she was re-registered on the civil list as G-BWHI. Still flying in her genuine RAF trainer colours, this charming Chippie is loving life at Blackpool Airport.

A busy general and business airport occupying a superb position right next to the coast, Blackpool is a great location for a flight in a Chipmunk. Just imagine taking off and gazing down at the golf course, the tram depot and North Beach below you. As you gain height, the sights of Blackpool unfold, with far-reaching views towards the Dales.

Being flown in a Chipmunk is a privilege for any passenger, as much as it is an honour for any pilot. They absolutely adore this aircraft and it's easy to see why. Full of character and smooth in flight it's an absolute joy.

We are offering 30 and 60-minute flights in the Chipmunk out of Blackpool. In that time you'll see all the local Lancashire sights, get to know this wonderful plane and even have the chance to have a go at flying her yourself. It's not everyday you can say you flew in an original RAF Chipmunk. Book your slot and get flying!
