Spitfire Flight Experiences

Can you actually fly in a Spitfire?
Yes. Selected experiences offer the chance to fly in a genuine two-seat Spitfire, putting you in the cockpit of one of Britain's most iconic aircraft. There are also experiences where you fly alongside a Spitfire in a separate aircraft or helicopter, giving you a close-up view of the legendary warbird in flight.
What's the difference between flying in a Spitfire and flying alongside one?
Flying in a Spitfire places you on board the aircraft itself with an experienced pilot, while flying alongside a Spitfire means travelling in a separate aircraft or helicopter as the Spitfire flies in formation nearby. Both offer incredible views and photo opportunities, but the experience of sitting in the cockpit of the Spitfire is the closest you'll get to stepping back into aviation history.
Are there Spitfire experiences for people who don't want to leave the ground?
Absolutely. Alongside flight experiences, the category includes highly immersive Spitfire simulator sessions that recreate the feeling of flying a Mk IX Spitfire. These experiences allow participants to take the controls, learn about the aircraft and experience realistic flight scenarios without ever leaving the runway.
Why are Spitfire flight experiences so special?
The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most celebrated aircraft in British aviation history, famed for its role during the Second World War and the Battle of Britain. Whether you're flying in one, alongside one or experiencing it through a simulator, these experiences combine aviation heritage, spectacular views and the rare opportunity to get close to an aircraft that few people ever have the chance to encounter firsthand.
