Fixed-base is a thing of the past. Welcome to the future of heritage flight.
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX was defined by its agility—the way it danced through the air and responded to the slightest touch of the spade grip. Until now, experiencing that sensation in a simulator was impossible in the UK.
We are proud to announce that we have broken the "static barrier." By mounting our ultra-realistic Spitfire Mk. IX cockpit onto a state-of-the-art Full Motion Platform, we have created an experience that is unique in the British Isles.
The Only One in the UK. While other simulators offer a view, we offer the physics. Whether you are a seasoned pilot or a history enthusiast, our motion-capable Spitfire provides the physiological feedback required to truly understand why this aircraft became the legend it is today.
Why Motion Matters
In a fixed-base simulator, your brain sees the turn, but your body stays level. In our new Full Motion Sim: The Rotation: Feel the nose lift and the airframe strain as you rotate off the grass strip. The Combat: Experience the physical buffeting of high-speed maneuvers and the recoil of the cannons. The Touchdown: Feel the distinct "rumble" of the tires meeting the runway.

This premium set includes a specially designed Spitfire Key ring a jacket pin, and air crew Europe star medal, all carefully crafted to provide an authentic flying experience.

Briefing and a flight in our training simulator, which is to enhance your knowledge in ground handling, flight control performance, taxi, take-off, and landing, followed by the remainder of the experience at the controls of the Spitfire Simulator with motion. The duration of the experience is 60 or 90 minutes.
Please note that this experience involves motion, so individuals prone to motion sickness may want to reconsider. Our simulator operates with the intensity of a rollercoaster, and we have specific requirements: a maximum weight limit of 110 kg, a minimum height of 160 cm, and a maximum height of 193 cm. Participants will need to use their feet, arms, and hands to operate the aircraft effectively. Good eyesight is also essential for the best experience.
Please be aware that getting and out of the simulator can be physically demanding, requiring good mobility, balance, and coordination. The rudder pedal controls mimic those of real aircraft, so a certain level of leg strength necessary to operate them effectively. Additionally, the cockpit is not wheelchair accessible, and participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult we do not accept under 12 yrs old.
