About the experience

There aren’t many opportunities around that allow you to experience what it was like to fly a Spitfire during World War 2. But if you’re a keen history fan who is desperate to gain a greater understanding of what pilots went though, a session in this Spitfire Simulator at RAF Mildenhall should be high on your list. Not only is it located in a former key RAF and USAF venue ran by skilled staff who have worked at and even been involved in RAF Mildenhall when it was an active base, but gives you a chance to experience one of the most realistic replicas around. This session is run entirely by RAF avionics engineers, who will walk you through a session in a training sim first, so you can get to grips with the controls, that way, when you actually sit in the Spitfire Sim you will be prepared for flight. Once you’re ready, you will take a seat in this Spitfire replica cockpit fully equipped with analog controls and tactical feedback that provides all the sights and sounds of Spitfires that once soared over the skies of Britain. With several flight scenarios to choose from, including a Battle of Britain aerial dogfight, this is one of closest flying sensations you can get to the real thing. If you are a long time admirer of these wonderful planes, or know somebody who is, a session in a Spitfire Sim is truly the next best thing to get a real taste for what pilots went through during WW2.

Bev King
So easy to book and when we arrived for the Spitfire simulator we were overwhelmed with the instructors welcome and knowledge. From start to finish my husband was totally enthralled by the experience and is looking to book again.
Geoff Fletcher
A fantastic experience. The cockpit was an accurate replica of the original and provided a realistic appreciation of what it was like to fly a Spitfire. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, and set the pace according to my slow learning.
Stephen Brand
Brilliant, really enjoyed the experience. First class instruction.

Excellent, a very realistic simulator not to be confused with others based on MSFS with flat screens. The USP here is the panoramic environment which gives you 180 degree field of vision, albeit at the expense of some definition. Challenging, but very rewarding.

The simulator was amazing. I took off and landed at Duxford twice. There was a full and thorough briefing. Kenneth was extremely patient and tapered my experience to suit me. I have restricted mobility.The simulator I used was incredible and lifelike.Thanks to Kenneth and Harry for making it a great day.

I was given excellent clear tuition on the basic flying controls on training screens. Once I had understood these the hour spent in the Spitfire simulator seemed to pass exceedingly rapidly, being expertly coached by Kenneth when needed. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a flight.
