About 1943 Berlin Blitz
In September 1943, a BBC reporter boarded a plane on an allied bombing raid over Berlin. The incredible recording he returned with forms the basis of this breathtaking experience by BBC Northern Ireland and Immersive VR Education, putting you inside a Lancaster bomber as it navigates a most dangerous journey.

15 minutes long. An early, relatively tame, historical educational VR experience. The plane, clothes, lighting is very immersive though. During the experience you get to hear the radio teleplay recording used as the basis for the experience, recorded during the actual mission in 1943. It is incredible that the plane could even take off at the time with the weight of the crew and this reporters' massive cojones. I think the gravity of the experience is not really felt until the closing text. This is really unfortunate, because If the surreal chilling description of events from the recording, told as they unfold, don't hit with you, then the context provided in the closing text for the sacrifice and history of the "F for Freddy" plane, it's crew, and the RAF forces in general during WW2 likely will. This is another really good write up about the ultimate fate of the "F for Freddy" that I recommend as well: https://aerialcombat.co.uk/aviation/remembering-berchtesgaden-lancaster-f-for-freddy/1 found this helpful
I couldn't turn on subtitles. Not for me.
A fantastic example of the power of VR for education and learning. In WW2 the BBC put a reporter on a Lancaster bomber during a sortie over Germany. This demonstration video puts you in the seat of a Lancaster bomber as it flies over Germany while listening to the 'real time' reporting of the BBC reporter as well as the general radio communications between the pilot, co-pilot, navigator, gunners and engineers. Easily the best VR experience I have ever had. The experience is both humbling and haunting in equal measure. Fully recommend.
A very insightful look into the terror that aircrew on bomber command had to face, and the great odds that were faced for them to come home. I believe all should take a look at this game to understand the sacrifices made by our grandfathers and great grandfathers to allow us to live free.
Nice VR experience where you get to see the Berlin Bombing. Its educational and do not expect mind blowing realism. Its Free, so Recommended!!!
This is epic and is very immersive, the audio brings it to another level
