Review of 2025
Please support our Spartan Aircraft Fundraising Campaign
We are currently raising £25,000 to purchase the last Type II 3 seater Spartan Bi-plane and bring her home to the Isle of Wight, were she was built in 1932.
You can support this project by donating securely via our “Just Giving” page using the link below, all funds donated will go towards the purchase of this extremely rare aircraft and help us achieve our goal of bringing it back home to the Island, from it’s current location in New Zealand.
The Spartan will be displayed to the public at the Wight Aviation Museum where visitors can learn about it’s remarkable history and the lasting influence of the Spartan Aircraft Company.
