By booking or participating in any flight or experience offered by us, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
A Friendly Note Before You Confirm Your Booking
We are a small, specialist warbird operator. Every flight day involves careful operational planning, aircraft preparation, fuel allocation, airfield coordination, and the engagement of qualified pilots and volunteer ground crew.
Because of this, your booking represents a firm operational commitment.
If you need to change your date, please notify us more than 30 days in advance where possible. Requests within 30 days are subject to availability and may incur an administrative charge.
Late cancellations or non-attendance significantly impact our operation. Charges may apply as set out below. This policy is not punitive โ it ensures safe, fair, and sustainable operation of historic aircraft.
Use of our website constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of the updated version.
Additional terms may apply to specific promotions. Where there is a conflict, promotional terms take precedence for that offer.

The operation of historic piston-engine aircraft involves substantial aviation fuel consumption (approximately 120 litres per flight hour).
Aviation fuel represents a significant and variable proportion of our direct operating costs and is subject to market volatility beyond our reasonable control.
The โBaseline Fuel Priceโ shall mean the average price per litre (including VAT) of aviation fuel paid by T6 Harvard Ltd during the calendar month in which the booking was made.
If aviation fuel prices increase by more than 10% above the Baseline Fuel Price prior to the scheduled flight date, we reserve the right to apply a Fuel Price Adjustment (โFuel Surchargeโ).
The Fuel Surcharge shall:
Reflect only the additional fuel cost attributable to the increase
Be proportionate to the duration of the booked flight
Be calculated using an assumed consumption rate of 120 litres per flight hour (pro-rated accordingly)
Not exceed actual additional operating cost
The surcharge is strictly a cost-recovery mechanism and shall not include any profit element.
Written notice will be provided no later than 14 days before the scheduled flight date, detailing the amount and basis of calculation.
If the Fuel Surcharge exceeds 15% of the original flight price, the customer may:
Accept the revised price;
Reschedule within 6 months (subject to availability); or
Receive a full refund.
If the surcharge is 15% or less, the revised price shall apply.
In the event of exceptional fuel market disruption, supply shortages, or operating costs rendering flights commercially non-viable, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel flights.
Customers will be offered:
Rebooking within 12 months;
A credit voucher valid for 12 months; or
A refund where required by law.
Vouchers are valid for 12 months.
