Second chance to win a flight in a Spitfire

British Aerobatics is running its second lottery to win a flight in a Spitfire.

For £20 a ticket, participants in the next lottery draw will have a 1-in-1000 chance of winning a 50-minute flight in a two-seat Spitfire with Boultbee Flight Academy, and an overnight stay with dinner for two at Goodwood Hotel.

The first winner of the Spitfire lottery, Alan Begley from the West Midlands, described his experience.

Alan Begley won the first lottery to win a flight in a Spitfire… and celebrated with a special beer.

“It was a privilege to be given the opportunity to fly in such an iconic piece of British history,” he said.

“From the briefing and first roar of the Merlin engine right through to the flight, aerobatics and landing, the whole experience was exhilarating.

“It was simply one of the most exciting and memorable things I have ever done!”

Proceeds from the lottery will go towards British Aerobatic Team training and support fund in preparation for the upcoming World and European Championships.

A donation will also be made to the registered charity Aerobility, who facilitate a range of flying training and flying experiences for disabled people.

For lottery tickets visit www.aerobatics.org.uk/lottery. The winner of the Spitfire trip must be over 18 years of age (other terms and conditions apply including height and weight restrictions.)

The lottery draw will take place on 9 January 2019 at the offices of Aerobility, Blackbushe Airport, Camberley, Surrey.
