The legendary Spitfire aircraft will be gracing our skies again this week, with flights available onboard.
The ‘experiences’ are priced at £3,500 a pop, but were “so successful” on the provider's first visit in August that the team have decided to return to the island already.

The flights are run by Spitfires.com, and will take off from the Guernsey Aero Club, and circumnavigate the whole of Guernsey.
This time they'll be taking off from 2 October for four days worth of flying.
Matt Jones, Founder and Managing Director of Spitfires.com, said these flights were very popular when they came over in August.
“We’re really excited about returning to Guernsey in October," he said.
"The opportunity to fly in one of our two-seater Spitfires proved to be incredibly popular during our first visit at the end of August and the beginning of September.
“Due to demand (and for those who might have missed out first time around), we’re coming back and offering more flight experiences in the most significant aircraft to grace our skies, the Supermarine Spitfire!”
