Mosquito Flight Simulator Experience
Welcome to the De Havilland Aircraft Museum, Mosquito Simulator Experience.
Take Flight in History’s Wooden Wonder!
INTRODUCTION
This immersive experience puts you in the pilot’s seat of one of WWII’s most iconic aircraft.The Simulator consists of a reproduction of the mosquito cockpit incorporating full aircraft controls and instruments and utilises a 270 deg projection screen with stunning visuals. The simulator reproduces the flying characteristic of a DH98 mosquito FB Mk VI.You will be sitting in the pilot’s seat and in full control of the aircraft. An on-board instructor will guide you through customised flight sorties.
No flying experience is necessary as the sorties have been created to cater for all, from ab initio through to experienced pilots. These sorties can also be modified to match the pilot’s experience.

Mosquito Simulator Experience £105 – inc. Museum entrance for the pilot plus 1 guest.

CONSTRAINTS
- The experience takes place in a reproduction of a mosquito cockpit so there are, unfortunately, some physical constrains that we must apply.
- Minimum height of 5 ft /1.52 m
- Maximum weight of 18 St/ 250lb / 114 Kg
- Guests must be able to climb into and out of the seat unaided and have physical mobility to operate all of the aircraft controls.
- Under 18s need to be accompanied by an adult.
Our instructors reserve the right to terminate the experience in the event of misuse, to ensure the safety of the pilot or serviceability of the equipment.
You are welcomed to be accompanied for your experience but beyond the first, additional guests will need to pay the normal museum entry fee. Guests can watch you fly the simulator, but space constraints limit this to a maximum of 3 people in total at any one time (pilot plus two guests).
