the simulator block at Cranebank is a squalid building.
Trust us, we know, we know.................I think that bucket was there when I did my assessment in 198X and I've done my bit to fill it up every time I visit the place...

Anyhow you might be pleased to know that as Stocious has pointed out the ground training hardware (sims, SEP rigs, the lot) is in the process of moving to a brand new home inside one of the refurbished hangars at the old base area adjacent to Hatton Cross...I've not been over there but I gather it's all jolly spiffing.... and a great improvement.

Here's a link to an article about it all in a publication worthy of HIGNFY

ISG lands contract to build BA flight simulator centre ? Construction Enquirer

I'm not sure whether the bucket will get to move or not...the contract for that is probably still out to tender...
