In the 1970s we flew a couple of our Pumas to Compiegne to visit a French Army Puma squadron. They also had an Allouette squadron equipped with the SS11.
They had a simulator outside the hangar which gave you all the experience in real time of firing one. The dot on the screen would react as per the real thing and you had the local scenery behind.
They, and we, used to track the buses going in and out of the nunnery about two kilometres away.
