WE are advised that IWM Duxford will be re-opening from 19th May onward subject to any Government restrictions. We have therefore released all the  dates in our 2021 season and you can book these through our website as we are optimistic that we will be able to re-commence flying from this date.

Please rest assured that if you buy a voucher from us or book a flight which is unable to go ahead due to Covid, you will be able to re-book for an alternative date.

• All  pre-booked flight dates which could not take place during the 2020 season have been put on hold and are re-bookable for this year’s season. You will be sent a rebooking link for this purpose if you have not already received one.

YOUR FLIGHT

When business re-opens, we will adhere to all Government guidelines and, as always at Classic Wings, our customers’ safety is at the forefront of everything we do.  As the government restrictions change we are working closely with the Imperial War Museum Duxford to ensure we work within their guidelines while offering flights to those customers who wish to fly from here.  As part of this work we are taking every step possible to provide a safe environment for our customers and staff.

All of the measures put in place will be under constant review in line with the latest government guidelines.

Coming to Duxford

IWM Duxford is a huge site of over 85 acres where it is easily possible to maintain social distancing, both in the outside areas and in the various hangars. Duxford have arrangements in place so that when entering the Visitor Centre and during your time on site, social distancing will be maintained.

Duxford are asking all passengers to pre-book their admission tickets online so they can spread out the number of visitors entering at any one time, and also for track and trace purposes.  You will need to book your Duxford tickets at https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford using the discount code FLYCW.

Day to day operations

During our season we will be providing all flight experiences across our fleet, having permission by the Civil Aviation Authority and Ministry of Transport.

One specific crew member will be allocated to deal with each individual party attending site and separate briefing areas will be used to ensure no unnecessary contact with people not with your group.

When you visit us for your flight you can rest assured that we will be rigorously maintaining our premises and aircraft in line with the very latest government advice.
