What Can I Expect
Go head-to-head in the Battle of Britain simulators! It's going to be an intense aerial dogfight as the two of you battle it out in a duel on these linked simulator sessions in Newcastle.
One of you will be piloting the powerful Messerschmitt Bf109. The other will be flying the legendary Supermarine Spitfire. Both boast full-size replica cockpits and, in fact, some of the parts used to build them are actual genuine parts from original planes. Both are really realistic, right down to the instruments and the high-quality visuals.
Now just imagine the scene. For our young Luftwaffe pilot, the orders were given by Goring that morning. You set off from base with the mission of shooting down Spitfires over the English Channel.
Our young RAF pilot is dozing in a deckchair outside the hut. Suddenly the call comes in: 'Dover 26,000. 50 bandits approaching from the south-east'. Time to scramble to your plane. Mae West on. Engine started. Hood pulled over the cockpit, there's barely time to check the trim wheels or fuel tanks before you're in position for take off, bouncing along the grass runway.
As you move into formation with the other Spitfires of your Squadron, you try and think tactics. But out of the haze comes what looks like the whole of the Luftwaffe. Big heavy bombers at 2 o'clock flanked by the formidable ME109s. You'll both have to keep your head moving, to check back and above for enemy aircraft. But how do you avoid the tracer fire raining down on you? The clattering of your own guns rattles your brain…
Suddenly you're one on one. It's RAF vs Luftwaffe in this battle. The aerial dogfight in full swing and you're right in the middle of it all, as you each battle to control your fighter. And yes, it's a game on these linked sims, but boy does it feel very, very real!
Our top Battle of Britain simulator tip: book the 60-minute experience and you can swap to fly in both simulators!
