vet-new

Historic Aircraft Collection was formed in 1985 by Guy Black and Angus Spencer-Nairn to restore and operate Spitfire Mk. IX TE566. Alongside this major project, two other Spitfires were recovered from gate guardian roles in Belgium. Spitfire IX MK912 in exchange for a Bristol Fighter and Spitfire XIV RN201 in exchange for a Fairy Battle. Both of these were subsequently sold and have now been restored by Historic Flying.

HAC now operates its fleet of Hawker fighters from Old Warden. Consisting of Hawker Fury I K5674, Hawker Nimrod II K3661 and Hawker Hurricane G-HURI for the Polish Heritage Flight, HAC is fulfilling its ambition of restoring and operating some very special vintage piston engined military aircraft. 

Runway25 are delighted to partner with the Historic Aircraft Collection.

International Orders Temporarily Paused

We have temporarily paused international orders to the European Union while we review recent customs changes that the EU have now introduced. From 1 July 2026, a flat customs duty of €3 per item in an order will apply to Business to Consumer parcels under €150 entering the EU.
 
These changes mean UK businesses are now required to prepay all customs, duties, taxes and handling fees, resulting in a significant increase in the cost of shipping internationally which is unstainable. 
 
We are working to find a permanent solution that is fair and manageable for both our customers and our business. We hope to reopen international ordering to the EU as soon as possible.
 
Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you live in the EU and still wish to order please email [email protected] and we can provide you an individual quote for postage and customs.
