✈️ Aircraft Announcement – Spitfire Mk IX TD314 Returns
First Public Display in 3 Years

We’re proud to announce that the legendary Aero Legends Spitfire TD314 will be displaying at the 2026 Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show at RAF Woodchurch. This marks TD314’s first public display in three years — a very special moment for us!

Built at Castle Bromwich in late 1944, TD314 is a Merlin 70-powered high-level fighter (HF IXE) and one of the last high-back Spitfires ever produced before the transition to low-back variants in 1945.

Public Statement – 2026 Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show

We are pleased to confirm that the 2026 Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show will take place at RAF Woodchurch (Ashford) on 8th–9th August 2026.

Woodchurch has a wonderful aviation heritage and provides an exciting new setting for the next chapter of the event. We will be bringing the full Aero Legends team and the experience gained from a decade of successful shows, and we are already working hard behind the scenes to deliver another memorable weekend of historic aviation.

For existing ticket holders, we would like to reassure you that your support means a great deal to us. We will be writing to all customers over the coming days with details of special offers and the options available to you in light of the change of date and venue. Our aim is to ensure that everyone who has supported the event continues to have the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic Battle of Britain Air Show experience.

If you require any assistance in the meantime, please contact our events team at:
[email protected]

For the past ten years it has been our privilege to organise the Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show at Headcorn Aerodrome, and we would like to begin by expressing our sincere thanks to everyone who has supported the event during that time. Our visitors, volunteers, pilots, aircraft owners, reenactors, traders, and the wider aviation community have helped make the show one of the highlights of the historic aviation calendar.

Over that decade the Battle of Britain Air Show has grown into a core part of the Aero Legends story, and we are immensely proud of what has been achieved together.

As many will now be aware, there is currently a commercial dispute between Aero Legends and certain businesses associated with Headcorn Aerodrome regarding the future of the event. Aero Legends' solicitors have been instructed since September 2025 with regard to this matter and we are continuing to address this matter through the appropriate legal channels.

In the meantime, our focus remains on delivering a fantastic event for our supporters and preserving the legacy of the Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show.

Most importantly, we would like to thank the tens-of-thousands of visitors, volunteers, pilots and supporters who have helped build something very special over the last decade. We look forward to welcoming you to Woodchurch in August 2026 for the next chapter.

Fly in an ex-military Strikemaster jet from our base at North Weald Airfield, Essex. This Strikemaster jet experience is the only one of its kind available in the UK and is fully approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

All flights include a detailed pre-flight briefing, covering the aircraft, equipment and safety procedures. All passengers will be fully kitted out with high quality military flying clothing and equipment and receive a comprehensive briefing on the LIVE ejection seats. You will be given the opportunity to discuss and plan the route and content of your flight with your Jet Legends pilot, to ensure you get everything you want out of your time in the Strikemaster jet.

Your flight will be operated from the 2000-meter tarmac runway at North Weald, which was once home to the RAF Red Arrows predecessors, the Black Arrows. You will have the opportunity to experience a range of aerobatic and combat manoeuvres, pulling as much as 4.5g. Additionally, you will be offered the chance to fly the aircraft yourself and you will take home a signed print of ‘your Strikemaster’ as a lasting reminder of your experience. In-flight video options and flight length extensions are available to pre-book online, or upgrade on the day.

Flt Lt Charlie Brown joined the RAF in 1981 and enjoyed a 40 year flying career as an RAF pilot. He flew the Tornado GR1, Jet Provost, Chipmunk, Bulldog, Tucano, Firefly, Tutor and Prefect. He achieved the coveted award of a A1 instructor category. Charlie retired from the RAF to enable him to spend more time flying for Aero Legends.

In 2024 Charlie reached 2000 flying hours in Spitfires, which he described as ‘a real privilege’. For many years a regular participant at Duxford air shows in many types of different warbirds, Charlie is a highly experienced display pilot. He has also tested and evaluated many different types of historic aircraft, at home and abroad, as well as teaching other pilots to fly them. He is also renowned as a Messerschmitt Bf109 test and display pilot.

Charlie is a current instructor and examiner of instructors, a flight examiner and a display authorisation evaluator. As Head of Training with Aero Legends he conducts and supervises instructional and training flights at all levels and on all types throughout the organisation.

He flies and instructs on all aircraft on the Aero Legends fleet except for the C47, including the Strikemaster ex-military jet aircraft used by Jet Legends. When not flying, Charlie keeps himself occupied with his classic cars (including a Ford GT40), classic motorcycling, cycling and his cat.
