Spitfire Simulator at Potteries Museum Lets You Be a WW2 Pilot
Bookings are open again for simulator sessions, available on various dates this year. “Pilot Training” costs £30, which is a 30-minute session with an instructor who will demonstrate the flight controls. It is best for ages 16 and up.
“Flight School” costs £6. It is a short, 15-minute family fun visit where kids can sit in a Spitfire cockpit and try the controls. It’s ideal for one or two children with an adult.
Operation Spitfire owns it. It’s designed to feel like a real cockpit, featuring real-looking interiors and controls.
The city celebrates its Centenary in 2025. They have a year of events celebrating local heritage and much more.
Julian Mitchell spoke about the simulator, as Reginald Mitchell’s great nephew. He said it lets people sit in a Spitfire. Operation Spitfire and the Museum created a school program for local schools, making history relevant through education.
Students built the simulator. Apprentice technicians helped build this project, along with staff at the University of Nottingham led by Dr. Mark Jabbal, the engineers.
