where are the best places for sitting in things?

You can sit in the Kent Spitfire if you book the experience day:

As for sitting in things; Duxford, Brooklands, Shoreham. It's more a case of getting lucky, but airshows are always best for sitting in stuff

Cockpit Fest Newark

normally has A few cockpits there

I thought it might, given the name

Yeah, but only half points for cockpits that don't have the rest of the aircraft attached. :))

I'm saving my first time for a Dakota

So going on that logic, I'll probably never sit in a cockpit :))
