Are there any sims available for this aircraft?

The only one ever done is the AlphaSim one which is now about 4 years old! It's not very accurate, but if you must have a Belfast, it is all we have.
Because of the lack of freeware model, Alpha have kept it payware longer than similar vintage models.

It cost just over 7 quid and has RAF and Heavlift schemes, one of the most overlooked aircraft in MSFS, apart from a good Britannia, that is.

There are both Belfast and Britannia in the planning stages

No other details at present

As I recall, two Belfasts were in the early development stage, but each modeller has other priorities, so we may not see one for years, if at all. :sad:

I would like to see the (real) Southend one get airborne though, when it does.

Me too, lovely aircraft. Had several trips in them before they were sold, once as a supernumary coffee maker. Something to look back on from old age

There is still the other one down under although it seems that it goes u/s fairly often.

But al least it lives :dance:

The one at Southend is due to go and join it.
