SPITFIRE flights are set to take off from Dunkeswell again after tremendous turnout for their display at the aerodrome's 80th anniversary.

It is understood the World War 2 fighter airplanes will be returning to the aerodrome in September, when residents will be able to see them fly above Wellington - or even hit a ride for around £3,000.

Over Dunkeswell's extended birthday weekend the historic planes were seen flying over the Blackdown Hills and circling above the Wellington area.

The flights are set to take place over four days on September 19, 20, 21 and 22 with bookings now open and almost half the available slots taken.

For £2975 passengers can enjoy a thirty minute ride in a Spitfire, where they will take off from Dunkeswell before soaring above the town and its surrounding areas.
