- The museum is open in February from 10:00am - 4:00pm
Two Red Simulators are available for public use, one of which is fully compatible with wheelchair use.
Each of them enables visitors to “fly” a number of different types of aircraft associated with Tangmere.
Formally opened by Air Chief Marshal Sir William Wratten GBE CB AFC FRAeS CIMgt on Thursday, 22nd July 2010, Tangmere’s Lightning simulator was developed and constructed by a small project team of Museum volunteers.
Constructed from a Link Trainer fuselage, this simulator imitates a Second World War fighter cockpit. It incorporates a joystick with gun-firing button and uses a flight simulator program to enable the pilot to enter combat with, and ‘shoot down’ Luftwaffe aircraft.
Very popular with our younger visitors!
