Trident 3 Sim

A few years ago a 'flew' Andy Mattick's Trident 3 sim; He had a purpose-built barn for the beast, and I remember doing night touch & go's at Gatwick (no day visuals were available).

As I recall, you did not attempt to flare for landing (this inevitably resulted in a stall), but flew the aircraft straight onto the deck. The sim was somewhere near Tatsfield- lost his number, so I don't know whether it's still operational.
