Father's Day Spitfire Sit In Experience
Looking for a unique way to treat Dad or Grandad this Father’s Day? We’ve got you covered with the opportunity to take a seat in our very own Collection Spitfire.
Let the special man in your life take a seat in this iconic aircraft with our team on hand to explain the details of the controls within the cockpit, the history of our particular Spitfire, and to take those all-important photos.
About the aircraft:
1941 SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE MK VC
The most famous of all the WWII fighter planes, our Spitfire was used to escort USA air force bombers between 1942 and 1943. It has the livery of the original squadron it served, No 310 (Czech) Squadron.
Important information:
Each sit in session lasts for 10 minutes with about 6 minutes on board.
For reasons of health and safety, participants must be fit and able-bodied with a max bodyweight of 15 stone.
Participants and guests must have a valid daily admissions ticket, as well as this ticket – please book daily admission online HERE.
Whilst we will do our very best to offer all the above-featured aircraft, vehicles and exhibits may change subject to workflow and serviceability.
