Classic Wings celebrates 25 years of passenger flights at Duxford

摘要

Having been based at IWM Duxford since 1990, Classic Wings marked its 25th anniversary on June 3 with a formation flight over Cambridgeshire featuring its two de Havilland Dragon Rapides and the Old Flying Machine Company's Supermarine Spitfire IX MH434, the latter flown by Stu Goldspink. Classic Wings offers customers a variety of flying experiences in historic aircraft, ranging from excursions in its Dragon Rapides -HG691 (G-AIYR) and NR750 (G-AKIF) - to flights in the back of a two-seat Spitfire. It also operates four DH Tiger Moths and a North American Harvard. It's possible to learn to fly with Classic Wings, and in the near future students will even be able to progress to flying solo in a Spitfire - starting with basic tuition on the Tiger Moths, before moving on to the Harvard and two-seat Spitfire.
