When designer Reginald J Mitchell died of cancer in 1937, although having seen the prototype take to the air the previous year, little could he have known just how much influence his brilliant design for "an all-metal monoplane, eight-gun fighter" would have on the outcome of the Second World War.
Spitfires fought from the earliest days of the War right through to its close in both the European and Pacific theatres and continued to serve with distinction through more conflicts to come all the way to the 1960s.
But it was in the darkest days of 1940, when Britain was on the back foot following a disastrous campaign in France, the following evacuations from Dunkirk and the consequential "Battle of Britain" that Mitchell’s graceful little fighter really proved its mettle.
Alongside the venerable Hawker Hurricane, its stablemate in many RAF squadrons of the day, pilots flew the Spitfire into battle all throughout each day of the long hot summer of 1940.
In this simulation you will find examples of Mk1As which fought in the “Battle of Britain” piloted by some of that battle’s "aces".
You'll also find a faithful recreation of N3200 - QV one of "The Dunkirk Spitfires" unearthed from the Normandy beaches where she had lain since 1940 and restored to perfection and flying condition today.
We will take you through all the necessary steps needed to fly a Spitfire, point out some of the design’s unique features and get you as close as possible to feeling what it would have been like to fly this incredible aeroplane.
So strap on your Sutton harness and "let’s get one up!"

I don't know if the product i buy is updated or not but whatever reason both planes i've bought from Aeroplane Heaven got the same sound issues. They sound great when the engine is in idle or very low RPM but as soon as u rev it up or cruising you can clearly hear the engine sound clip ending and starting over. The rest of the plane is perfect both visually and performance wise but the repeating sound clip just needs to be worked with. On all their planes before they move on to new projects!Also if you cut the engine from outside the cockpit the engine just mutes itselv. It's like youy actually just press the mute button nothing happens besides that
AH Spitfire MK1A.. Aboslutely Beautiful flight model, easy to fly, but not so on the ground (as in real i think) many many features brings you the best that MSFS2020 has to offer with vintage warbirds. This in my view is a "Must Have" to add to your collection 9/10 from me.
There was a rumor that this almost didn't get released because of the Flying Iron version. Seeing that this version was the very first Spitfire to be produced and the other offering is a much later version all I can say is I'm glade AH changed their mind. These two Spitfires are very different aircraft based on the era they were produced. That being said this bird is amazing all around. I highly recommend this for anyone that's into WWII aircraft, WWII era fighters, historians, tail dragger enthusiast or those who just love aviation. I could got on and on. This will go down as one of the more amazing offerings for FS2020. Great Job Aeroplane Heaven and a big thank you for bringing this to us!!!
Top notch plane and challenging one to fly. Some small issues that will be fix soon I hope. If you like to compare it to the Flying Iron..it is in the same ligule.
Happy to have it in MSFS
It's everything you want from a MK1A. well done Aeroplane Heaven team. The sound is excellent - if only MSFS had a flyby view to hear it as you would from an air show. Thanks again.
