Here are a handful of shots of the ex-Filton BA Concorde sim now residing in the acoustic chamber at Brooklands..
Gordon and his team have really done a first rate job putting this lot back together. I saw it when it arrived and believe me, it looked nothing like this! :o One of the Vanguard team popped his head in on Sat to see if it was running and Mike Bannister was doing T&G's at JFK with a group. He took them UNDER the Brooklyn Bridge too
As for the sim.. the engine instruments are not running yet and the engineers panel will remain inop. I'm not sure what sim software is being used (I gather it looks reasonably rough so it probably isn't FS9) and the experience is NOT full motion. Still no info on cost but I'm sure Mike Bannister doesn't come cheap
