Enjoy a full hour of nostalgic open-cockpit flying in our classic Tiger Moth biplane as you journey from Dunkeswell Aerodrome to the stunning Jurassic Coast. Take in breathtaking views as you follow the coastline past Branscombe, Lyme Regis, and Chesil Beach to Weymouth, where the sweeping bay and harbour come into view. The return leg takes you inland over the rolling Devon countryside, completing a truly memorable flight that captures the spirit of 1940s aviation and the timeless beauty of England’s south coast.
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.
