Prepare for an exhilarating journey with the esteemed Tiger Club as you embark on a breathtaking Tiger Moth flight from Damyns Hall Aerodrome! Nestled in Essex, not far from central London, this venue is Greater London’s sole privately-owned general aviation airfield and is a haven for aviation lovers.
The Tiger Club has a storied history dating back to 1956 when a group of aviation friends bonded over a shared passion for racing the iconic de Havilland dh82a Moth. Over the years, this illustrious club has called many airfields home, but it has found a perfect landing spot at Damyns Hall, where the spirit of flying thrives among fellow enthusiasts.
A true aviation paradise, the club is filled with dedicated pilots who have mastered both aerobatics and racing in an impressive fleet of classic and modern aircraft. Damyns Hall isn’t just about Moths; it’s a diverse hub that hosts gyros, microlights, helicopters, warbirds, and even a wing walking school, sharing the runway in harmony.
Your flight aboard a meticulously restored Tiger Moth promises to be extraordinary. For instance, G-ACDC, one of the stars of the fleet, happens to be the third DH82a Tiger Moth to be ever built, with a rich history that began in 1933. This charming biplane was instrumental in training RAF pilots, before joining the Tiger Club family in 1957, making your experience one steeped in authentic aviation heritage.
Another gem, G-ASKP, began her journey in 1939, serving as a military trainer and introducing young pilots to the sky during WWII. After a period in storage, she found a new life with the Tiger Club in 1964, where she dazzled audiences at airshows across the country.
We are thrilled to offer 20, 30, and 40-minute flights above the stunning landscapes of Essex. As you navigate through the air, don’t forget to spot local landmarks like the QE2 bridge and Lakeside shopping center. And don’t worry about just being a passenger; you’ll have the chance to take the controls of this incredible biplane yourself!
