Just for Woomera...



LocoDriver, it's a Hawker Siddeley Trident IIIb. Most of them became fire training devices, sitting at airports looking very sorry for themselves... many now cut up for scrap. There is still a good one a Duxford, and I think the Chinese are still flying theirs.

These photos are of the simulator, spent many hundreds of hours in this sim teaching wannabe airline pilots about flying jets. It is an "old school" simulator, absolutely accurate in the cockpit detail, even down to having the correct heated windows. Sits on a 3DOF motion base that reminds me of British locos (ie it tends to leak a lot of hydraulic fluid).
