I wonder if any present or former RN pilots have any clout at Yeovilton? I'm a former commercial f/wing and helo pilot recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and therefore with no medical BUT would just love a few minutes helo sim-time.. even with a shaky collective hand!! Cheers for now.

I can't, unfortunately, help you with a trip in the yeovilton sim, but thought that it might be worth a mention to let you know that the RAF now operate one of the most advanced helo-sims in the world, and it's the Seaking sim at RAF St Mawgan. I can't get you a trip in that either, but it is an avenue that you may wish to explore.

Best of luck

Try The SK sim at Culdrose (if it's still there)I used to know some of the operators down there, email me and I'll give you some names.

Actually, the RAF now populate (not operate -it's a civilian-owned enterprise) THE most advanced simulator in the World. It's the MSHATF at RAF Benson. Write to Gp Capt Lloyd, the Station Commander, with your request, and I do not see how he could possibly refuse.
