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.

Restrictions:

• Please note if you suffer from motion sickness this is not for you.

• Please make sure the pilot is aware of these constraints before purchasing a voucher.
