Services
IWM Duxford could be described as the "Mecca" of vintage aviation. Built in 1918 as a training base for the newly formed Royal Air Force (RAF) Duxford has had a long and exciting history as a training station between the wars and as a fighter station for both the RAF and the American Air Force in World War Two.
Imagine yourself in the first years of aviation and the thrill of a wartime fighter pilot taking his first training flight in this nostalgic aircraft. Take a trial ying lesson in this classic, two seater, open cockpit aircraft and, on this flight, you get the chance to take the controls!

A truly awesome experience. As much as I'd love to go up in a Spitfire flying in a Tigermoth was absolutely exhilarating
Apart from what I was gifted and enjoyed immensely I must say that that staff are up and above some of the best I've ever come across making my experience even more enjoyable.
Staff who work as hard as they do at Classic Wings make you want to come back time after time......as I will be
Thanks Brad (flight staff) and Andy (pilot) you are truly amazing at what you do
Fingers crossed, I'll be back soon

Excellent experiences and friendly staff. I've been over for numerous flights and even to one of their 'away days' when they took a couple of planes over to Oxford a few years back. The service is always exceptional and the added bonus of a photo or video of the day is a lovely add-on. They are also really on-it with their COVID procedures would have no issues recommending a visit, even during these uncertain times

Last Sunday (9th of June) I enjoyed the most wonderful day at Duxford courtesy of Classic Wings. I arrived very late due to an unforeseen and long traffic delay but was given a very warm welcome, a hasty cup of coffee and a quick briefing - without any signs of irritation. The flight in the De Havilland Dragon Rapide was very well organised and great fun in itself, flying over beautiful English countryside in the most wonderful conditions. The sight of the Spitfire was breathtaking and a joy for all of us. Lunch at one of the cafes of the IWM was excellent, followed by a short tour of the Battle
