Hurricane Heritage

Hurricane Heritage & Ultimate Aerobatics are offering opportunities for passionate volunteers to join our team. We are based at the historic grass airfield of White Waltham - a busy GA airfield with a lovely club atmosphere and a bar/restaurant onsite.

We have a range of roles that would suit individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Common sense, a strong work ethic, exceptional customer service and an interest in aviation are all required!

Full training will be provided and some of the duties you could be doing as a volunteer are:
-formal aircraft safety briefings
-kitting up and strapping in customers
-resetting aircraft and camera fitting
-hangar cleaning and sweeping
-aircraft refuelling and cleaning
-attendance at airshows and competitions

We fly every day, weather permitting, with the main season running from April until October. A minimum of two days per month commitment is preferred but we are happy to have as much time as you’d like to give us! All members of the team are expected to muck in and help and will be cross-trained accordingly.

If you are interested, then please send an email before 3rd February with an introduction of yourself, work/life experience and availability to: [email protected]

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

Just before we head home for the festive period the team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who flew with and supported us through 2024. We are already really looking forward to operations in 2025!

Is there a better gift than a flight in our two-seat Hurricane ‘Pegs’?

With next year being the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britian we are expecting a busy season. Our 2025 booking schedule is live so if you’re thinking of a flight head over to www.hurricaneheritage.com and get booked in. If you can’t see what you are looking for, please get in touch. We are always happy to work with you to help make you or your loved ones realise their dreams!

We’ve come to the end of another Hurricane season, and what a year it’s been! We’ve had so many memorable flights and met some truly amazing people with connections to these incredible aeroplanes. It’s also been a privilege to share the them at the many events we’ve attended this year. We hope you’ve all enjoyed seeing them as much as we’ve enjoyed sharing them.

Plans are already afoot for next year, which is shaping up to be something very special with the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

If you’d like to fly in Pegs, alongside R4118 or have us attend your event next year, please just get in touch.

What a fantastic weekend at the Battle of Britain airshow Imperial War Museum Duxford. It was such a privilege to put four Hurricanes together. We hope those of you that were there enjoyed the weekend.

Really looking forward to having these three beauties back together West London Aero Club today.

Tomorrow (03/08/24) is Hurricane day at Imperial War Museum Duxford. Come and say hello to our MkI Hurricane R4118 and possibly a visit from our two-seat Hurricane 'Pegs' subject to weather.

It's shaping up to be a really interesting day with our friends and partners over at the Historic Aircraft Collection , Polish Heritage Flight, Mark Postlethwaite GAvA and even Airfix!

There should be plenty of flying going on throughout the day.

Happy 102nd Birthday Bernard!

On Tuesday this week we started our 2024 passenger flying season from Aerial Collective Duxford. The weather was absolutely stunning as you can see from RPStreets atmospheric shot of Pegs.

As we look forward to the start of our 2024 season, we reflect back on one of the many highlights from last year. We had been working with the RAF Association and Jeff Brereton’s family to give Jeff the opportunity to not only fly the Hurricane but to also fly next to the Hurricane he worked on at the height of the Battle of Britain. Jeff was based at RAF Croydon in 1940 and was assigned to look after R4118 as its mechanic.

Jeff’s energy and humour is totally inspirational, and it was a privilege for the team to help make this such a special day, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
