Can someone confirm that Brooklands Museum has a Concorde Simulator?.
I’ve been told that today a refurbiished Concorde Simulator was offically
opened at the Museum in front of an invited audience which included former
Concorde aircrew, if this is correct does this mean it will open to public ?.
If this is true and not a rumour will it be in use on Easter Monday 13th April
at Brooklands Museum’s “Those Magnificent Men and Our Flying Machines”
event?.

Great to see it up an running again. Shame it is fixed, without the hydraulic motion. In early 2004, I was lucky enough to get a shot in the sim when it was at Filton, with help (lots of) from Les Brodie and Warren Hazelby (Pilot and Flight Engineer on the last Concorde flight), complete with full motion hydraulics. The day before, BA had decided to decommission it, so they pulled the plug on it after we were finished. It was a rare and unforgettable opportunity. I am a little jealous that Brooklands got it and we didn’t get to keep it at Filton for our future museum.
