Serious about flying a real warbird? Train with one of Europe’s most experienced Harvard conversion organisations.

Welcome to T6 Harvard Ltd (Warbird Experience), where we have been training pilots in the Harvard since 2010, preparing candidates for the safe, proficient and disciplined operation of one of the world’s most respected advanced trainers — the legendary North American Harvard.

Long before pilots flew the Spitfire, Hurricane and P-51 Mustang, they learned their craft in the Harvard. Today, that same aircraft remains one of the finest platforms for developing the heavy tailwheel, energy management and operational skills required for high-performance warbird flying.

Harvard Conversion Training for Serious Pilots

This is not a passenger ride or a themed experience. This is genuine Harvard conversion training designed for pilots seeking real proficiency in a historic military aircraft.

Our instructors include highly experienced warbird pilots with extensive Harvard time, including pilots with display authorisations on iconic WWII fighters such as the Spitfire, Hurricane and Mustang. When you train with T6 Harvard Ltd, you are learning from instructors with authentic operational warbird experience.

Train in the Aircraft That Prepared Pilots for the Spitfire

The Harvard was the aircraft that prepared generations of pilots for the Spitfire, Hurricane and P-51 Mustang.

For pilots seeking Spitfire preparation training, Hurricane conversion preparation, or serious warbird training in the UK, the Harvard remains the cornerstone aircraft. Many of our pilots have gone on to fly the Spitfire, Hurricane and Mustang following Harvard training.
