I remember the Concorde sim, it was on the factory floor at Redifusion in Crawley in 1977/78. Us RAF types were on a 16 week Hawk Sim course in same factory learning all types of weird things such as R2000A computer (all assembler language and paper tape with the infamous Cat A Linkage (i.e. interface between the computer and the cockpit)). Sitting in the left hand seat of Concorde and flying in 1977 was a memory not to be forgotten - after all the Hawk T1, which at that time flew more like a C130, was never going supersonic heading west over the Bristol channel.. Fond memories.......
