Starting backwards;
- Buckleys
- Not exactly; it had the AH and Nav systems of the B707 [Collins FD108...ahh] plus a switch to reduce or cutout the rudder bias in the event of an engine failure to simulate the foot-force required on 3 or 2 engines in a B707. otherwise, it was as Hatfield designed her. Don't even ASK about the electrical system [see above answer!!
]
- Early 80's when simulation entirely replaced the need for S/O's to actually demonstrate they can fly an aircarft in the air.
- An ex-QF [may even have been current at the time] F/E bid at auction and won. As to what was included and the argy-bargy which followed, someone else can take up that drama.
Hope this helps a bit.
G'day
