    Just in case some of you may be interested......
    Concorde simulator opens at Brooklands

    One of only two Concorde simulators has been re-commissioned at Brooklands Museum.

    Following a five-year restoration project, visitors can get a pilot’s-eye view of a Concorde flight, including take-off and the thrill of breaking the sound-barrier.

    The simulator, which first entered service in 1975, as one of two in the world, cost around £3m at 1975 prices – around £20m.

    Former British Airways Concorde Captain Mike Bannister was joined by record-breaking driver Richard Noble OBE, for the inaugural flight in the refurbished simulator.

    It is housed in a specially refurbished building next to the museum’s Concorde G-BBDG, as part of the Brooklands Concorde Experience.
