About the experience
This one-of-a-kind Spitfire simulator is housed in a world-class facility in Goodwood Aerodrome in West Sussex, where it is used as part of the flight training programme for new Spitfire pilots. It's a real treat to be able to offer slots in this professional-level Spitfire sim - and we're just as excited about it as you are! The original parts from a genuine World War II Spitfire were used to build this simulator, as were new parts destined for but never used on modern Spitfire restoration projects. Custom parts were also installed to convert this analogue plane into a digital flying machine. As you sit in the cockpit, everything appears to be real because it is. The gauges, for example, are original, with working needles and dials that are all controlled by the modern electronics installed behind. The Spitfire feels just as real. That's because the configuration is identical to an MkIX Spitfire, right down to the motion and feedback. Every bump on the grass runway, as well as turbulence, will be felt. The dome's visuals create an all-encompassing flying scene with seamless projection of the nose and wings. It even sounds right, with that distinct Merlin engine growl emanating from your headset. Book now to get as close as you can to flying a real Spitfire without breaking the bank!

Paul Yarker
Great experience and Nigel was brilliant - definitely recommend this to others.
Michael Gibbens
Very enjoyable experience.
One thing I think could benefit everyone would be the option to download the flight to a memory stick for people to take home with them. Not sure if possible, but I'm sure the imagery from the PC could be recorded.
Dom Hart
Excellent service and a truly wonderful experience! I recommend this to anyone keen on aviation and/or lovers of Spitfires.

Great experience
Keith Donnelly
A birthday present delayed by the pandemic. Well worth waiting for. The staff at Into The Blue and Spitfires.com were polite, knowledgeable and professional. The instructor, Nigel, was exceptional. Flying the simulator was educational, revelatory and completely realistic, but also great fun. The whole experience was amazing. Thank you to everyone involved.
Colin Rivers
For me, it’s the nearest I’m ever going to get to flying a Spitfire. It was amazing. The instructor, Nigel, was really nice and friendly. He explained everything to you, and gave a good cockpit tour, before the flight.He didn’t rush you, into getting in and out of the cockpit. He was very courteous to my wife and myself.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

A birthday present and well worth the money. A unique experience in a genuine cockpit with an excellent instructor.
Adrian Giles
Excellent experience, was given the best attention, and the best tuition. I really enjoyed being shown how to fly a Spitfire!
Alison Baker
My two children and I bought this experience as a Christmas gift for my husband. He thoroughly enjoy the whole experience and wants to go back and experience it all again.
Richard
My technician and host during my experience was top class. Helpful, friendly and above all, non judgemental! The simulator itself was very impressive in terms of response and accurate detailing. The only thing I found was that the graphics were not as crisp as expected. They were fine for high level aerobatics but blurred at low level.
Nigel
Brilliant, you forget you are sitting in a simulator. I will never be able fly in the real thing, but this was for me , the next best experience! The instructor, Nigel, was really great and really knew his stuff.
High Flier
A brilliant experience. Tuition was clear, friendly and relaxed and the "flight" amazingly authentic. Highly recommended.

What a great experience, I’ve had a lifelong love of the Spitfire and the part this iconic plane played in protecting the UK during WW2. The simulator was made from parts of a real Spitfire and was very convincing when in flight. Great instructor. Would highly recommend.

My Spitfire Simulator experience was absolutely excellent and I would recommend it without hesitation.
Having never flown a plane (or even seen the cockpit or cabin of one in real life, as opposed to tv/cinema), it gave me a real understanding of what is involved in flying.
My instructor was excellent giving very clear advice on how to operate the controls throughout all of the session.
The picture attached is of me flying over Southampton before heading over to see the Isle of White.

Excellent day out at a fantastic location, the staff and particularly the instruction were very good. The simulator really gives an idea of what pilots had to work with during WW11.
