Spitfire academy - learn to fly like it's 1944

World War Two plane enthusiasts can re-live 'our finest hour' by learning to fly - a restored SPITFIRE. The fighter plane became iconic after it helped secure a decisive victory over the Nazi Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Now a flight academy is giving people the chance to become a 'fighter ace' and fly the legendary aircraft over the skies of Oxfordshire. The two day course, costing £5,400, lets war buffs fly three different planes, including the legendary TR-9 model Spitfire.
