Are there any concorde simulators that are still working and retain their certification?

Regarding LHR JFK routes.

What was the avarage fuel load and how close to full tanks was it.

At FL500-600 what sort of wind was usually encountered. So high above the tropopause I would think very little.

Flying magazine from the US did a spread on the concorde many years ago. Theye stated that the wind component was such a little percentage of TAS that the block times rarely differed by more then 10 mins. True or false.

They also said that the type rating course was so hard that only the top performers (pilots) were selected for the training and even then there was a 50% washout rate. True or false.

Does anyone still have a complete set of ground school notes?
