If it can be pushed around on wheels then this probably is it although its 40 years since I worked on it!I dont think it had a “Decca “when I new it,also there was a outside panel on which various faults could be fed in to catch out the unwary students!There where realistic noises when the eng start sequence was operated ,increasing as the throttles were opened .I suppose at that time it was a good training aid for students.In the same buiding there was a link trainer(this in 1967)and students had to do so many hours as part of the course,most felt it was beneath them as they already had wings!!Master pilot Boyse soon put them to rights and gave them a tough time on it!
