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.
I wish I could adopt her

..may be a deep stall...just once see if that stick pusher really works

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!!!!
