Tiger Moth & Tanks Experience
This is a unique and atmospheric day with a classic Tiger Moth flying and tank driving combined! You'll take a flying lesson in the vintage Tiger Moth biplane, climb aboard the classic Dragon Rapide for a sightseeing tour and drive an armoured caterpillar-tracked military vehicle.
This full day experience is something of a VIP day out perfect for fans of all things vintage, as you get exclusive access to the control tower where, in a very civilised fashion, you'll be served tea and biscuits (try not to drop crumbs in the radar!). The package also includes free entry to the Imperial War Museum, a buffet lunch, loan of flying jacket, helmet and goggles, a celebratory glass of champagne and a pilot logbook style flight certificate.
