Harvard Warbird Flights Berkshire

Harvard Warbird Flights Berkshire

Experience the wonderful world of warbirds with these Harvard flights at White Waltham! This is your chance to take to the skies above Berkshire in a superlative example of these much-loved training aircraft from another era. Whether you know it as the American T6 Texan or the Harvard (as it was called in the Commonwealth) this plane is pretty legendary. It served as a great war time trainer for young pilots who then went on to fly fighter planes on daring missions. It's an iconic warbird and anyone who's into their classic aviation will want to fly in one. No need to cross the Atlantic to fly in a Harvard though as this one is based in Berkshire. Operating out of White Waltham Airfield near Maidenhead is certainly befitting as the airfield was used as an Air Transport Auxiliary base during WW2 whence aircraft were dispatched and delivered to the forces. Today White Waltham is home to one of the largest flying clubs in the country. With excellent on-site facilities including a clubhouse pilot briefing rooms and a restaurant it's a great place to visit. And even better when the reason for your visit is a ride in a Harvard! And what a fascinating history this particular Harvard flying out of White Waltham boasts. She was built in December 1942 as a MkIIb by Noorduyn Aviation in Montreal Quebec. Originally allocated US serial 42-708 she served with the RCAF at No.6 Service Flying Training School at Dunnville Ontario for the duration of the war. She was struck off charge in December 1946 and moving to Sweden in 1947. She was brought to the UK in 2016 and had a substantial restoration. This included being resprayed to wear the colours of a Harvard provided to the RAF under the wartime lend-lease agreement with the United States. Now this Pratt & Whitney-powered warbird is ready for take-off. She's just waiting for you to climb onboard too! We are offering thrilling Harvard flights out of White Waltham Airfield as 20 30 or 40-minute flights. If you're up for it you might even be treated to some aerobatics moves as part of your flight experience!
