Great fun
Attended with an old flying buddy for the experience and the whole event was very professional from start to finish. It gave us a small insight into what the very young men had to cope with in combat and after often only 15 hours experience on type, hats off to them.

Great Fun
Excellent experience, not easy but great fun. A very professionally run operation. Good guidance given by the guys which in my case was very much needed. Unfortunately it could be addictive. My son and I are already thinking of a return match.

What an experience
Sitting in a replica cockpit of two of the most iconic WW2 fighters was an unforgettable experience, be nice to see the canopy and back rest on the messershmitt, and also some authentic flying gear as worn by the airmen who flew these planes. I had a great time

My husband and his mate had a go at the dog fight-more crashing the plane than fighting. Both of them really enjoyed the experience. The staff were lovely and very helpful.

A suberb dogfighting experience
A great dogfight experience chasing and shooting up your best mate taking it in turn to fly a Spitfire and an ME109. Staff very helpful and enthusiastic. Bit of a 'Boys Own' experience really without the G-force! Whole thing very engaging and involving. Just a pity it is not nearer home otherwise this could become a habit.

Great fun
The dog fight experience is great fun and well worth a trip but 30min just goes to quick.The instructor runs through the controls and guides you on the flight if needed to find the 109. You can either have 15 min in each plane or 30 in one - it's up to you Great fun but tie it in with something local to fill the day

Dogfight
What a great time we had doing the flight simulator, the guys at Fly A Flight were very informative and made our experience worth while day, with laughs and much competition between the two of us, proving that we are both very competitive. A great time hd by all.

Brilliant fun!
A bit of father / son time trying to shoot each other out of the sky! A brilliant hour of dog fighting in the Spitfire and ME109. Needless to say my computer skills weren’t as good as my 12 year old! From the moment of the booking to completing the experience everything was easy. Go have fun, you won’t regret it!

My dads xmas present
I decided to have the ultimate dad/daughter battle and whilst I couldn’t shoot the old sod down i did manage to make him crash into the sea. I was in the faster German 109 while he insisted on going in the spitfire, it was great fun and thanks to mark for giving us a good time. Being a bad loser, the old man made me buy him a pint afterwards, and then claimed he let me staffers him! Men!!!!

Nothing special
Took part in a 30 minute Battle of Britain dogfight. Sat in very realistic cockpits but visually the graphics were not that great. Also as you are only looking for one small plane in the sky you find yourself flying around on your own for quite sometime.

30 minute Dogfight Simulator for Two
I think the idea is great. But in practice you seem to spend a lot of time flying around looking and looking with the occasional bit of dogfight. Not sure how you would make it better apart from have squadrons of Heinkels lined up and the Spitfire ploughs thought them or get more time to adjust to how it works

Not what we expected
Quite disappointing, expected an actual battle of some sort or even be able to see the plane your aiming at. You have to search for small numbers which are hard to see and aim at them, this is of course when you actually find them, no fun factor . Each to their own, felt quite deflated after driving over 2 hours to get there. Would not return in all honesty. Have booked other experience says which have been a lot better, so will still use virgin experience days.
