Tiger Moth flights at Sywell

Don't miss this chance to experience aviation in authentic 1930s style with a flight in a Tiger Moth biplane. Nothing compares with flying over the beautiful English countryside in an original Tiger Moth biplane, from a grass aerodrome that has seen pilots taking to the air in Tiger Moths since 1932.
