A flight in a tandem Spitfire at Goodwood will be auctioned, gifted to Air League of Monaco by Ms Cathy Foyle. This experience will see you flying one of the Spitfire TR9’s, SM520 or BS410, built 1944 and 1943 respectively and both converted to the Vickers two-seat variant during the modern restoration, around the local area and over the English Channel. Along the route, you’ll enjoy the sight of the Spitfire’s famous elliptical wing as you pass over England’s green and pleasant land. You will also have the opportunity to touch the controls and to fly the aircraft yourself. The ‘bubble’ rear canopy offers excellent all-around visibility for guests.

For more information how to claim the prize if you win see the brochure below:
