Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Had an amazing day at the Heritage Hangar assisted by our tour guide Simon. It was truly interesting to be educated on the important role Biggin Hill played in the Battle of Britain. Simon's extensive knowledge of the spitfires and the Hangars history made the experience even more special.
Would definitely recommend visiting!
Thanks again to the team at the Heritage Hangar.

My husband had the best day. He was treated to a wonderful flight in the spitfire and got to take control of it. His pilot, John, was a great guy and was really pleased with his flying skills. We joked it was all those years of playing BF1942 on the computer. Me and the kid's also had a great time in the Chase plane and we got some fantastic video. It was definitely a day to remember. Highly recommend it. Thank you all for making it a brilliant 60th birthday.

Thank you for your review and we are sorry you didn't get to see a spitfire flying. If you come back in the summer you could visit the Memorial Museum. They have great views from their café or you can go to The Lookout.

The whole visit at Biggin Hill was fantastic. We booked a flight for my brother’s 70th birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The tour around the museum was very interesting and informative- Tony was a great tour guide - please pass our thanks to him.
On the day of the flight it was all very organised and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely recommend the whole experience!
Thank you once again for making it a memorable birthday for my brother.

My pilot Anna was just incredible, as was the ground staff. My family came up in the chase plane to enjoy the experience also. We had an unbelievable experience. Highly recommended anyone wanting to experience a spitfire flight or a tour around the hangars looking at all the different aircraft they have there. Big thanks to Biggin Hill!

My wife bought me the "Weald of Kent" Spitfire flight from Biggin Hill, and it was a wonderful experience. It was well organised, with good communication, a great team of knowledgeable people, and a most enjoyable flight in a wonderful Spitfire MT818. I realise it takes a lot of people to make such an experience happen, and I thank them all, but I especially thank my pilot Steve for my flying experience in the air - it was just perfect in every way. I was able to take the controls for a little while - I am glad I did that, but it was more fun when Steve was in control - and then I was treated to victory rolls above the beautiful Kent countryside.

On the 24th August 2024 my four friends and I had the pleasure of the "Fly A Spitfire" Experience. Well, I flew in the Spitfire and my four friends flew in the chaser plane beside it taking picture and videos with the many backgrounds of outstanding natural beauty in the forms of Newhaven Harbour, Seaford Head and town, The Cuckmere Valley and it's Oxbow Lakes, Splash Point, Hope Gap, The Seven Sisters Cliffs, Belle Tout and Beachy Head Lighthouses, Birling Gap and Beachy Head Cliffs to name, but a few of the wonderful sights and not necessarily in that order.
The experience was amazing as were everyone involved from Commander Barrie of the MJ627 Spitfire, the pilot of the chaser plane, sorry I didn't get your name, all of the ground crew and all of the customer liaison team in the office. Everyone was so professional and made the experience for us all a magical one indeed. I apologies for taking so long to write this review.
I would recommend that anyone thinking about doing it or how lovely it looks from the ground, should actually go and do it from the air as for me it was well worth every penny. This was done for my "Bucket List" and was made even more special for me when Commander Barrie asked me about the significance of the "Fly A Spitfire" Experience was for me. Which I told him was to fly over my old beloved stomping ground and where I went to my favourite school back in the days was called East Quinton School as an eight-year-old and knowing a lot of the WWII history of the area. With that he said: "Then we will make it an extra special experience for you." Not only did we fly over all of the mentioned areas, plus others, we did "7 Victory Rolls" and flying to and from the South Coast I was given a number of opportunities to take control and actually fly the MJ627 Spitfire. I actually plan to do it again one day.
Thank you to everyone involved in the "Fly A Spitfire" Experience, you have made my year!

Certainly sounds like you had a wonderful time with us. We always do our best to fulfil our flyers' requests and it was great to learn you flew over your old school. 7 victory rolls! I trust you hadn't had a large meal beforehand haha. Thank you so much for your review and we will look forward to welcoming you to the Heritage Hangar again one day.

David, did you not read what was flying before you booked your ticket?

Is it worth going with someone who is doing the sit in tour?
Skrevet 26. oktober 2017
Sorry for late response! If you have any interest in history at all I would say "Definitely, yes". The sheer level of tangible history that exists at Biggin Hill and the role it played in the Battle of Britain makes it a unique location. That, plus the guide's explanation of the combat history of the various aircraft in the hangers, makes in a fascinating experience.

My father in law is wanting to research his mother who was based at Biggin Hill when it was heavily bombed. my son wants to arrange a visit for him but we can only see the hanger tours. Is this the only thing offered or is it possible to visit for the day without the tour. if so what is the cost of a day visitor without a tour?
kind regards
Angela
Skrevet 30. november 2016
Hi Angela,
The only place you can get a tour at Biggin Hill is our Hangar. The rest of the site is fenced off as it is an operational airport.
Tours of our hangar last an hour and a half and cost £36, you can book on 01959 576 767
Skrevet 30. november 2016
Hello. The nearest rail station is Hayes (in Kent, not others). You will need a taxi from there as I do not know bus routes. The hangar is some distance from the main road...so I think taxi would be best. Try calling 01959 576767 as their sebsite is being worked on. Hope it helps. Regards, Richard

please provide details of your "sit in a spitfire" and tour (availability and cost?
Skrevet 16. september 2016
I received the " sitting in a Sptfire" as a gift . I believe the cost was £60 which also included access to the heritage centre. The experience itself was very memorable and the guide who took you through the history etc was very knowledgable .

I am interested in providing a birthday present for my son-in-law and in particular, the "Sit in a Spitfire" and tour attraction.
