For over 90 years, the Supermarine Spitfire has enraptured the nation, and now you can experience flying this legendary aircraft first-hand. For years, Spitfire simulators across the country have been "fixed-base"—great for the eyes, but your seat stayed still.
 
That just changed.
 
We have officially upgraded our legendary Spitfire Mark IX to a Full Motion Platform, making it the only Spitfire simulator in the UK that actually moves, tilts, and vibrates with every move you make.
 
Feel the Merlin Roar: Experience the raw vibration of the 1,700hp engine through your seat. 
G-Force Simulation: Feel the "pull" as you dive into a turn and the "thud" of the landing gear locking into place.
Dogfight Realism: When you bank to chase a 109, your whole world tips with you.
It’s the closest you will ever get to the real thing without a pilot’s license.
 
The Experience
Briefing and a flight in our training simulator. This is to enhance your knowledge in ground handling, flight control performance, taxi, take-off and landing, followed by the remainder of the experience duration at the controls of the Motion Spitfire Simulator.

Physical Ability
Getting in and out of the simulator is physically demanding and requires good mobility, balance and co-ordination. The controls are like real aircraft and need good arm and leg strength to operate them.
