Take off, Landing and Combat £80 40 minutes
With your Spitfire checklist in hand, fire up the mighty Merlin, taxi to the runway, full throttle, hurtle down the runway and climb away? Not as easy as it sounds!!! Your instructor will guide you through the process and then you get to go SOLO, just like they had to do during WW2. Good Luck and don't break her!
These sorties require longer preflight briefings, therefore time slots are booked over the phone after you have purchased your voucher.
For longer flights you can book multiple sessions

A look back at the construction phase
We now have a fully operational Spitfire Simulator, from the outset we wanted to create a truly memorable experience and a close as you can get to flying a real Spitfire. The cockpit section is a full scale replica of a Spitfire Mk9 with authentic controls and a seat feedback system. The wrap around screen gives an almost 220 degree view and with Dolby 5.1 surround sound compliments the immersive experience. We now have a combat capability, to test your skills against fighters and bombers.
