I found a company that did this a couple of years ago, but they stopped doing it. Now there is another: www.goodwood.co.uk/experiences/experiences/learn-to-fly-a-spitfire.aspx

WANT.

Ever thought about learning to fly a plane?

Alt: what would you like to learn?

Yes, I have
I would like to learn all of the languages of the world. All of them. Even that one that's just clicks and humming.

A couple of mates have theirs and, in the present good weather, spend a lot of time flying. It's a bit pricey though. Often thought about Gyrocopters too.

There are often Spitfires flying around at home where they do a fly *with* a Spitfire 'experience' thing.

The 'with' thing would be ok. The problem is there are very few 2 seater Spitfires - (they were training aircraft) so very limited opportunities to actually fly in one now.

Just going to point out that there is another mode of transport that's available to you
it's got a higher intial outlay than a bus, but nobody else is allowed on it unless you give them permission; it will stop anywhere you choose. As an added bonus, they're frequently cheaper than trains.
