About the experience

Our extended Spitfire MkIX Flight Simulator experience offers more time in this purpose built facility at Goodwood Aerodrome in West Sussex, ideal for those looking for real insights into how Spitfire pilots are trained! This simulator was built using original parts from a genuine World War II Spitfire, as well as new parts intended for but never used on modern Spitfire restoration projects. Custom components were also installed to transform this analogue plane into a digital flying machine. Everything appears to be real as you sit in the cockpit because it is. The gauges, for example, are authentic, with working needles and dials that are all controlled by modern electronics installed behind the gauges. The setup is identical to a MkIX Spitfire, down to the motion and feedback. Every bump and turbulence on the grass runway will be felt. This one-of-a-kind Spitfire simulator is housed in a world-class facility in Goodwood, where it is used to train new Spitfire pilots. It's an honour to be able to offer slots in this professional-level Spitfire sim, and we're just as excited about it as you are! With seamless projection of the nose and wings, the dome's visuals create an all-encompassing flying scene. With that distinct Merlin engine growl emanating from your headset, it even sounds right. Book now to get as close to flying a real Spitfire as possible 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.

John

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, itâ€™s the nearest Iâ€™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 didnâ€™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. ,

Andy Graham

An excellent experience as close as you will get to the real thing!

AlanD

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.

Kenneth Iredale

Fantastic experience, the instructor was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Topped off with look into hangar.

What a great experience, Iâ€™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.
