You’ll get to see why from a seat on board a certified multi-passenger aeroplane or helicopter as a Spitfire flies within smiling distance of your window. As you cruise along you’ll be able to take in breathtaking views of Castle Ashby and the surrounding grounds, while the Spitfire manoeuvres around your plane with characteristic ease. Keep your camera to hand for some amazing air to air snaps! Fancy an even closer view? Your experience includes an essential Ground Viewing with the Spitfire. | Essex - Epping; Kent - Ashford
