Craig Morris, 56, of North Walsham, won the Ultimate Spitfire Experience in BOTB's online lifestyle competition.
The prize is worth over £5,000 and Mr Morris said: 'This is the ultimate dream.'
Since being founded by William Hindmarch, BOTB has given away over £25m worth of prizes.
Mr Morris, who has been entering the draw for six years, said: 'The dream for any pilot is to go up in a Spitfire and that's why I started entering the competition.

'I've flown in other planes before, like the Tiger Moth, but never a Spitfire. It's going to be amazing to actually go up in one.
'Just to be in one with the engines running will be truly emotional.'
