History of our flight simulator
 

Our simulator was built in the 1980s by a film studio to be used in TV dramas and also as a movie prop and to enable the film crew to do close-up shots of the actors!

We originally purchased it as an empty cockpit from an elderly gentleman who had kept it stored in his barn for many years with the intention of completing the inside, although due to his ailing health unfortunately never managed it.

We have spent many, many hours turning that empty shell into what we now present you with – a fully functioning, very realistic simulator !!
