Last Detail | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
On the 13th September the last VC10 simulator details took place.
The crew consisted of the Station Commander, Air Commodore (retd) Ian Elliott, AVM P Atherton and F/E Flt Sgt John Douglas and not forgetting the two console ops Nick Jones and Mick Rose.
They flew both simulators for about 2 hours. On conclusion of the details we had a little ceremony and powered both simulators down. Very strange to be in the totally silent computer rooms knowing they won't ever be powered up again at Brize Norton.
I was presented with the last simulator authorisation sheet suitably framed.
Just wanted to say to all the Instructors, Students, 101 and 10 Squadron aircrew and all those who have used the simulators over the last 47 years it's been a pleasure knowing you. Thank you for making my job more of a hobby than a career.
