The Dome, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, was a state-of-the-art AA (anti-aircraft) gunnery trainer, and is one of only six such WW2 gunnery trainers left in existence in 2014, although 40 were built. There is now a replica Spitfire on its pedestal outside the dome.

Long before digital virtual reality was invented, moving images were projected onto the inside of the Dome which taught brave trainees how to shoot down enemy aircraft successfully. More than seventy years after the end of World War 2, a visit to the Dome offers a unique opportunity to journey back in time and experience what life was like for those who served at RAF Langham.
