About this deal

If your Christmas day tradition includes hours of playing games with family, our Playing Cards with Hidden Maps would make the ideal adoption for the one who always finds a sneaky way to win! Used by RAF prisoners of war in Germany during the Second World War, playing cards were often used to smuggle maps into prison camps. Unsurprisingly, these cards have been one of the most popular adoptions since the programme launched last year. But if this unique experience is out of your price range, you can still get close to these wonderful aeroplanes, with Spitfire flights and visits for all budgets. Book in to tour the Spitfire Factory where the dedicated and quite frankly ridiculously talented team strips down and lovingly restores warbirds. Or go for the full monty experience with a personal Spitfire flying display (how cool is that!?). The Mk26B is a 90% scale Spitfire for the 21st century. It's the brainchild of Mike O'Sullivan, the owner of Supermarine Aircraft. He and his band of merry aviators, technicians and engineers are building, flying and maintaining a fleet of 12 Mk26Bs to fill the skies with of Britain once again with that famous elliptical wing-shape that was so influential in the skies during WW2.

Assurance - Once you have chosen a date, we will help to ensure that you get the confirmation in time for your event and if need be we will liaise with the supplier on your behalf if there is a problem.Even those too young to remember what it was like in wartime Britain will know all about this famous aircraft. After all, you don't have to be an RAF veteran to have a lump in your throat when you hear the throaty purr of that finely tuned Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Many agree she simply epitomises the bravery of those who fought (with many paying the ultimate price) for freedom. Knowledge - Our core staff have been working in the industry since 2004 and have all the experience necessary to deliver the experience that is perfect for you. The organisation does not just concentrate its efforts on one particular aircraft; the organisation will channel all adoption money into helping with all of the Spitfire Club aircraft and grounds where they feel it is most needed

days after you have registered your gift you will receive a personalised supporter certificate and ACESquadron membership cardSadly, the BoB Lancaster is the only one left flying, but the Hurricane is seeing something of a revival (perhaps due to the success of flights in restored two seater Spitfires) and you can now fly in a Hurricane too.

Their superb speed of 582 km/h, high performance values and low attrition rate meant that they were undoubtedly the aircraft that, in most people's minds, symbolise the bravery, courage and sacrifice that the pilots who flew these single seater aircraft in WWII.
