BAC1-11 Simulator Cranebank
Just to complete BA's recent spate of poor behaviour with regard to seasoned a/c they are now about to rip out the BAC1-11 simulator at CBK. The last regular users, the Oman Air Force, have not been forthcoming with any usage during the last couple of years.
... May the OLD LADY RIP...Psychophysiological entity
Mmmm.......just one step up from valves, relays and model houses on conveyor belts. How sad.

From this summer BA will be using a B747-400 fixed base sim. This has no motion or visual system and EFIS displays will be switched to NAV so no map display.
I will miss the 1-11. I had both BACX and BA sim checks in it. My father had his sim check in it, and MY GRANDFATHER did his in it as well!!!!

I don't understand HZ123's problem here.
If there is no demand for the 111 sim and it costs BA to maintain it why shouldn't they get rid off it. There is still a 111 sim at Bournemouth.
