Harvard & Hurricane Formation Flight
Fly a Battle of Britain Warbird — With a Hurricane on the Wing
This is not a fly-past viewed from the ground.
This is a living, breathing WWII formation flight, placing you inside a genuine T-6 Harvard as a Hawker Hurricane forms up on your wing in flight — close enough to see the rivets, hear the Merlin, and capture unforgettable air-to-air imagery.
For a minimum of 10 minutes, the Hurricane flies alongside your aircraft in authentic formation, recreating the sights last seen during the Battle of Britain.
What Is the Harvard & Hurricane Formation Flight?
This exclusive experience combines:
-
20-minute airborne flight in a genuine WWII T-6 Harvard
-
Minimum 10 minutes of close-formation flying with a Hawker Hurricane
-
Unmatched air-to-air viewing angles impossible from the ground
-
A historically authentic pairing of trainer and frontline fighter
You will see the Hurricane exactly as wartime pilots did — not parked behind ropes, but alive in the air.
The Hurricane on Your Wing
Whenever available, your formation aircraft will be the legendary:
Hawker Hurricane V7497 —
a genuine Mk I Hurricane that fought in the Battle of Britain.
Due to the realities of operating historic aircraft, maintenance schedules and weather may occasionally require an alternative Hawker Hurricane to be used.
The formation flight experience remains unchanged — the aircraft type, proximity, and visual spectacle are always preserved.
Every flight is conducted with full safety briefings and experienced formation pilots.
Why This Experience Is Visually Unmatched
Most “warbird experiences” show you an aircraft on the ground.
This experience shows you the Hurricane where it belongs — in the air.
-
Eye-level view of the Hurricane’s wing, fuselage, and propeller arc
-
Perfect positioning for air-to-air photography and video
-
Formation flying that no Spitfire-only experience can replicate
This is cinematic aviation history, flown — not observed.
