Hi all,

Anyone know of anywhere in the UK where you can fet time in a 737 simulator? I'm looking for something informal where I can buy an hour to 'try my hand at it'. Last i heard there was someplace in Yorkshire that sold gift vouchers and any Joe-public could gen an hour trip in a -200 simulator with no visuals. Can't seem to find a website, though.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Jason

3 seconds and 'Google' came up trumps.

Multi Crew Training (banner pops up from time to time) can provide time and instructor on European's 727 sim at Bournemouth. Apart from the 3rd engine it has a very similar cockpit layout to the 737-200. Very nice to fly! Also this is a proper airline sim (ex Ansett) not like the one in Yorkshire.

Their website only mentions MCC courses on the TriStar sim but they do offer one off sessions in both the 727 and the TriStar.

And their instructors have an enormous supply of stories too!!
