What Can I Expect

If you're a fan of these classic aircraft (and let's face it, who isn't?) a Spitfire Tour is a dream come true. These very special guided tours give you access to the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar, which is home to a resplendent collection of Spitfires and other vintage warbirds.

What makes this Spitfire tour unique is that it's a private visit, as the hangar isn't open to the general public. This is your chance to have a good look around the Spitfire factory, witness the everyday goings on, see how the talented team works and generally feel rather emotional and overawed by the whole thing (as we were when we went!).

You'll be met by one of the Spitfire team on arrival and shown through reception. Somewhat innocuous from the outside, this factory at Biggin Hill is a true treasure trove for aviation fans. As soon as the door from the office area to the main hangar is opened, your breath will be taken away.

It all feels so much more alive  than your usual aircraft museum. This is the Spitfire Factory and it's where all the meticulous restoration work is done. It's also where many of the planes are housed after they've been certified airworthy and also where other privately-owned examples of Spitfires are hangared.

You can get properly up close to these aircraft (so much so that you can catch a whiff of that distinctive smell of leather and oil!). As it is a working environment, you will be accompanied on your Spitfire tour for your own safety - and your host will explain everything there is to know about these majestic winged residents.

If you're looking for an aviation-themed present for that very special person, buying them a Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar Spitfire tour where every visitor gets to see the wonderful work this very discrete aviation restoration company does is a fabulous choice.
