The British Aerobatic Association (BAeA) is offering a 50-minute flight experience in a two-seat Spitfire provided by Boultbee Flight Academy together with Goodwood Hotel overnight stay and dinner as the prize, valued at £4,000+, in the first of its newly registered lottery draws.
Tickets cost £20 each and participants will have a 1 in 1000 chance of winning. Proceeds from the lottery will go towards the British Aerobatics team (power and glider) training and support fund in preparation for European and World Championships. A donation will also be made to the registered charity Aerobility.
