Historic Flights Podhorany – Unique Rarities from the Second World War

Your historical flights from Podhořany in detail
The centerpiece of the collection is the 1943 Avro Anson Mk.I MH120 – after a roughly ten-year restoration, the world's only still-flying Avro Anson of the original Mk.I version. Up to three passengers can experience a roughly 20-minute flight together and switch between various historical crew positions, from co-pilot to navigator and bomb aimer, to radio operator and gunner.
With the Miles Magister Mk.I N3827, you'll board the Royal Air Force's first monoplane trainer: Built in 1938 and preserved to approximately 95 percent of its original condition, this aircraft was demonstrably flown by Czechoslovakian RAF pilot Jan Mokrejš in 1942. Equally authentic are the two De Havilland Tiger Moth Mk.IIs (N9503 and R5246), genuine former RAF trainers from 1939 and 1940, which you can experience in an open cockpit – and, upon request, in formation flying with up to three aircraft.
The Aero 145 VH-DUH completes the range: The elegant Czechoslovakian classic touring aircraft from 1960 completed its ferry flight from Prague to Australia in 1961 and returned to the Czech Republic under its own power in 2024 after 57 days and almost 20,000 kilometers.
