The Experience

This Fly A Spitfire Simulator Experience is the perfect gift for a history lover or aviation fan. They'll get to step into the cockpit of one of the most legendary fighter planes in history and take to the virtual skies!

This state-of-the-art simulator recreates the look, feel, and sounds of an authentic World War II Spitfire, offering an incredibly immersive flying experience. From the roar of the engine to the precision of the controls, every detail makes you feel like a real wartime pilot.

Whether they're a seasoned aviation enthusiast or just love the idea of piloting an iconic aircraft, this experience delivers thrills, nostalgia, and pure excitement in equal measure.

What to Expect

  • Step into the cockpit of a fully interactive Spitfire simulator.
  • Learn the controls with expert guidance.
  • Take to the skies and experience the power of this legendary aircraft.
  • Choose from two session lengths – a 30-minute flight or a 60-minute flight, which includes takeoff and landing practice.

Even better, this is a private experience, meaning the recipient gets the cockpit all to themselves! But they won’t have to enjoy it alone, up to two guests can come along to watch and share in the excitement.

If you're looking for a unique birthday present, Father’s Day surprise, or Christmas gift, this experience is guaranteed to impress. Suitable for ages 10 and up, it’s a fantastic way to inspire young aviation fans while giving history buffs the chance to relive the golden age of flight.

Let them feel the adrenaline, master the controls, and experience the magic of flying a Spitfire, without ever leaving the ground!

  • I bought the Spitfire Simulator experience for my husbands 70th birthday. He is a life-long fan of anything to do with aeroplanes. He loved it! A very authentic experience which was both educational and exhilarating...he isnt normally easily impressed with things but he loved it. The facilitators were very friendly and welcoming. Overall I would rate this as an experience worth doing for people of any age from adolescent to pensioner. Everyone will enjoy it immensely.

  • Anyone who's a WW2 aviation enthusiast or interested in military history will really enjoy this. We were expecting something commercial with a gift shop, perhaps a tea room; nothing like it it. The Spitfire (and an ME109) has been built in the garage of a lovely rural bungalow at the end of a narrow lane. The time Carl has injected into his "hobby" must have been huge. It's a wholly original Spitfire with all original dials, all working. The seat is original, the straps are original. The cockpit smell gives you a poignant sense of the time. Although you don't physically move, the virtual reality headset gives you an authentic view of south east Kent in 1940 and by adjusting the controls moves you around the sky. Take-off was really difficult as you can't see over the cowling until the tail comes up; you have to look sideways. You can undertake virtual aerobatics and can "crash" accidentally or in my case at the end, deliberately. Being a Spitfire cockpit, it's tight to get in and out of; but for pilots under six foot and preferably not too bulky. It's a great experience and makes a super gift, as was mine. Take someone with you take photos.

  • After a friendly welcome we were shown the ropes and given interesting background info. The setup feels very authentic when sitting in the cockpit, and the VR experience is spot on, with really good detail as you fly over the south coast countryside. Good help and instructions throughout, definitely fitted a lot into the 30 mins, though it flew by!
