Setting off from historic Old Sarum Airfield in a genuine 1930s vintage Tiger Moth, experience the rush from the open cockpit while soaring over the stunning Fovant Valley, taking in unique aerial views of the many historic badges, crests and emblems which were carved into the hills by the armies of men who were later stationed to France.
