Our amazing 3D VR (Virtual Reality) Lancaster flight experience is now available to purchase as a Gift Voucher, and the lucky recipient can contact us, when the museum is open, to book a specific date/time for their flight, so you don't have to worry that you might have selected an inconvenient one. Booking and contact details included with the gift voucher.
No flying experience is required, our 'flight engineer' will talk them through the controls and be sitting adjacent to them, watching on-screen how their flight is progressing - and suggesting any additional actions to ensure all goes well. From take-off to landing.
We've had a number of qualified pilots take control and they've been amazed at the realism. Numerous people have come back for another flight, even visitors in their 90s have 'taken to the air' and also people who haven't even flown as a passenger. There is a minimum age restriction of 15, but this is more about the height and reach of the pilot, who might not be able to reach the controls at a younger age.
In addition, you can also purchase admission tickets so the lucky recipient of the flight can gain 'free entry' to the museum on the day.
