We didn't have a visual on the old Hunter sim; instead there was a translucent canopy to let in ambient light from outside.
One day I was doing some exercise and the fire light illuminated. So, throttle to HP OFF, LP cock closed, boost pumps OFF, press the extinguisher. After the briefed time, check for signs of fire - and I noticed a flame visible through the canopy. "Very clever", I thought - and promptly ejected. Which caused the canopy to open and the seat to move up slightly....
Whereupon I saw the console instructor halfway through lighting his pipe.....he was rather miffed that I'd jumped out as he was expecting a 1-in-1 approach!
The early Hawk sim produced so much UV light that the sim instructors developed significant sun tans even in the Valley winter!
I remember Diana visiting the GR5 sim at Wittering, but what has happened to this kit; does it all end up in a skip somewhere?
Diana's old 'kit' would no doubt command a fair price on eBay!
