Question Flight Simulators in the UK

I'm looking at organising a day out for my staff as a thank you for recent hard work and wondered if anyone could advise the best places to approach for time on full-motion flight simulators. We are all frustrated would-be pilots here and I think this would be enjoyed by all!!!

Thanks as always for any suggestions.

There is an old trident sim available in the Caterham area, just off junc 7 M25 at 70 quid an hour. I used it a couple of years back and it was quite honestly a bit of a dog but good value for money at £50 as it was then. Think they also can get you an instructor if required. 01883 652109

Travel a bit further a field and there is a sim centre at my old company in bournemouth. Bac1-11, L10-11(200 and 500) and a 727 sim. Sims much better than trident especailly 727 that has good visuals. I think they do days / sessions for the public. Not sure of the cost thought... Sim Centre 01202 581111

Regards

a bit of a dog?
You're talking about one of the finest machines ever created in the history of the Universe...

Doors If it's company money try BA. They'll help your uninitiated have a good time with colourful displays.

The Trident is really for those who want to achieve Nirvana, and of course know when they've got there.

Unlike Doomsday...
