Harvard Warbird Flights
Available
-
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

Thrilling Harvard flights
over the Essex skies!
This is your chance to
climb aboard a vintage
Harvard and fly out of
Earls Colne airfield near
Colchester for a truly
exhilarating warbird
experience that is sure
to take your breath away.
This Harvard is a genuine
World War Two veteran.
Having been built in
Dallas Texas in 1942 this
Texan trainer first
served with the US Air
Force. She was then down
to be transferred to the
RAF as a Harvard IIA but
somehow ended up being
amongst a shipment of 436
aircraft destined for the
South African Air Force.
And that's where she
stayed working as a
fighter trainer until
1969. This time she was
sent to serve with the
Portuguese Air Force
until 1978 when she was
decommissioned. By 1979
this well-travelled plane
had reached British
shores where she was
re-registered as G-TSIX
(nice choice!). Passing
through various
ownerships G-TSIX has
been a regular feature at
fly-ins fly pasts and air
shows for many years
resplendent in her US
Navy Trainer colours. Now
settled at Earls Colne
airfield just outside
Colchester this
delightful Harvard flies
vintage aviation
enthusiasts in the skies
above Essex on these
fabulous flights. We have
selected a range of
experiences - all of
which include a
comprehensive 30-minute
pre-flight briefing and
plenty of time to get to
know this wonderful
aircraft. You'll be
kitted out in a full
RAF-style flying suit for
your Harvard flight. Your
pilot in Earls Colne will
be Nigel Willson the
flying school's chief
pilot. He is massively
experienced when it comes
to flying these
magnificent warbirds and
is an accomplished
display pilot and
organiser. And in fact we
are offering a taste of
those display pilot
skills with an aerobatics
add-on to give the
standard 20-minute flight
that extra G-force
thrill! As well as the
full-range of single
flight durations we also
offer the rather special
Duxford day out. This is
a landaway experience
where you'll take off
from Earls Colne in the
Harvard fly across Essex
to Duxford then explore
the wonderful museum for
a couple of hours before
heading back in the
Harvard to base for tea.
All very civilised! If
you love your vintage
aviation you will love
these Harvard flights in
Essex. Buy your voucher
book your slot and get
ready to fly in this
genuine WW2 fighter
trainer.

Zoom through the skies
over Epping on these
Harvard lessons from
North Weald Airfield!
Experience war bird
flying at its best with
this full range of flight
durations for Harvard
flights out of historic
North Weald. Whether you
know it as the Harvard or
the North American T-6
there's no denying this
plane is a legend. For
many many years the
Harvard was used as the
main second-level trainer
plane by air forces
around the world. Being a
low-wing monoplane it
would have been quite a
big step up from flying
biplanes like the Tiger
Moth. Aspiring fighter
pilots couldn't wait to
get their hands on the
Harvard. Way more
powerful than anything
they would have
previously flown during
training so far it was a
real baptism of fire for
these young pilots to see
if they could handle the
Harvard. Those who did
often went on to become
bonafide fighter pilots
now it's your turn to see
if you can earn your
stripes! The Harvard you
will be flying in for
your lesson at North
Weald Airfield was built
in 1943. After various
missions the plane was
sent as part of a
10-plane consignment to
serve with the Haitian
Air Force. It's believed
this particular Harvard
is the only one to have
survived when she was
returned to the USA in
1982. Eventually arriving
in the UK in 1989 the
Harvard was re-registered
as G-DDMV. She was fully
restored by the current
owners when she was
purchased in 2015 and
this delightful plane now
flies resplendent in her
yellow training colours
over the skies of Epping
and north Essex. We are
offering 15 20 40 and
60-minute Harvard flights
out of North Weald. Each
one gives you enough time
to savour the sheer
energy acceleration and
power of this impressive
plane. And being a lesson
you'll even time to have
a go at the controls so
you will actually be
flying this lovely
Harvard yourself for a
short while. Make sure
you wave to your friends
and family waiting back
at the North Weald base
as you soar past in your
Harvard!

world famous Imperial War
Museum this family run
business has been
restoring maintaining and
flying classic aircraft
here since 1990 - and

Harvard.This Harvard has
a fascinating history.
Now registered as G-BJST

training colours with

is actually no historical
proof this particular
Harvard flew with the
British Air Forces as
mysteriously all the
original log books were
all lost…In fact
aviation historians think
the plane was built by
the Canadian Car Factory
in 1953 and was flown by
the USAF before flying
with the Italian Air
Force as MM53795. After
all these years you can
now fly in this Harvard
