rebel-lion Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 In the near future (September) The museum will be letting members of the public get a chance to sit a Spitfire for 10 mins for £10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you've been lurking for quite awhile there :3 Sadly no pics, I am currently working at the RAF Museum in London as a sales assistant and Spitfire Experience Tour Guide. I am also running the simulator and the "4D" experience (a 3D cinema with moving chairs, wind and smoke). Yeah I been hear fr a while as well as the old site, didn't have a lot going on in my life to talk about until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalletFace Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 You have to run a Spitfire tour when there's a really sexy Hurricane at the same museum? I'm sorry you're subjected to such inhumane treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That's a pretty good gig. I'm about to switch jobs from a physically grueling job to a job where I get paid 100 bucks cash to sit in a chair watching a gate for 8 hours. Gonna catch up on my television and reading a good bit. On an end note, this thread has inspired me to go to an aviation museum. Colorado Springs is less than hour away so I'm sure that can happen.

Some time in the distant future the museum is planing to have people sit in the F-4 phantom they have. 4 hours ago, Azure said: That's a pretty good gig.

LazerMaster5 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Where can I obtain a decent job with regular hours? The theater hours are too all over the place for my tastes, making it hard to plan things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
