Fly a T6 Harvard experience from Compton Abbas Airfield, Dorset. The Harvard was the second step for a WWII trainee RAF fighter pilot, a much more powerful aircraft than the gentle Tiger Moth with a 600 hp PW radial engine which makes it much more like a fighter to fly. A trial flying lesson in the T6 Harvard is an amazing experience. We not only give you the opportunity to fly in the Harvard, you also take the controls yourself and actually fly a warbird.
