🛫 A Powerful New Partnership: FlyASpitfire.com Comes to Halfpenny Green

We are delighted to be partnering with FlyASpitfire.com, the UK’s leading provider of Spitfire experience flights. Known nationwide for their exceptional aircraft, highly skilled pilots, and world‑class customer experience, their presence at our airport represents a major milestone.

These flights showcase aviation history at its finest and they align perfectly with our heritage, dating back to 1941 when the airfield first opened as RAF Bobbington, training navigators and observers during the Second World War.

📸 A Spectacle for Visitors and Aviation Fans

Experience flight days transform the entire airfield, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for spectators.

Bystanders can enjoy the thrills of:

• Spitfire engine start‑ups

Visitors can make a day of it at Amelia’s Bar & Restaurant, offering panoramic views of the runway from both the terrace and indoor seating areas.
