In addition, take off from a wartime airfield, Scampton, (as used by 617 sqn) climb up and fly the first leg of a bomber sortie over the Wash.
“With all three options, you fly the aircraft from the pilot’s position using all original wartime controls as the pilots did in WW11. After a successful sortie you gain your certificate and copy of flight taken.”
