The Tiger Moth Academy specialises in vintage, open-cockpit aviation using a classic 1939 de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane—a legendary WWII RAF trainer. Operating in partnership with York Flying School, the academy gives aviation enthusiasts the rare opportunity to step back in time, put on a leather flying helmet and goggles, and take the controls of an iconic historic aircraft.
For individuals seeking a memorable adventure, the academy offers hands-on trial flights where passengers can experience open-cockpit flying firsthand, as well as flypast services for special events. For qualified pilots or those aiming for formal certifications, they provide specialized flight instruction including tailwheel conversions, aerobatic training, and National Private Pilot License (NPPL) courses.
