Airliner flight deck training flights in the 70s and 80s.

Which UK airports and airfields (including MOD) were the popular spots for circuits and bumps, instrument training and general handling back in the days when simulators weren't as commonplace as they are now ? At Leeds Bradford I remember Air Anglia and Air UK kept the Friendships busy on training jollies when they weren't flying to Amsterdam and Edinburgh. I'm sure BIA dropped in once or twice to do circuits with the Herald. That's all I can personally remember.

IIRC British Airways went to Brize Norton with the Concordes. Where did they go with the Viscounts and Tridents ? Britannia, Dan-Air, Monarch and so on ? Any memories ?
