RAF Cosford has launched its Summer of Spitfire event, and as part of the fun, visitors will be able to strap on a pair of VR goggles and take to the skies.

The six-minute flight, shot specifically for the new virtual reality zone, is the first of a number coming to the site in the coming months.

The experience costs £5 and is suitable for those aged 13 and up.
