Take to the skies in our vintage Tiger Moth biplane for a breathtaking 45-minute flight from Dunkeswell Aerodrome to the south coast of Devon. Fly over the picturesque countryside before reaching the Jurassic Coast, where you’ll follow the shoreline from Seaton to Bridport, taking in dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and sparkling sea views. Your return route heads inland over the rolling hills of East Devon, offering a unique perspective on this beautiful part of England — all from the open cockpit of a true 1940s training aircraft.
The Tiger Moth is renowned for its responsive controls and forgiving flight characteristics, making it an ideal tail-dragger trainer. That being said, it does require coordinated flight techniques and highlights pilot mishandling. Unlike some training aircraft that compensate for pilot error, the Tiger Moth demands precision, ensuring that only those with the right aptitude advance in their training to fly the likes of the Spitfire and Hurricane. It served as the principal RAF training aircraft right up until the 1950s when it was replaced by the Chipmunk.
