Air Travel – How it used to be

mods I hope this is OK to post, we are a registered charity.

In my spare time I work as an Aircraft Guide at the Duxford Aviation Society near Cambridge. I thought I would let everyone know of a special event planned for Fathers day on Sunday the 18th June. The society looks after a unique collection of airliners ranging from a Viscount, Britannia, Comet right up to Concorde. Regular visitors can climb aboard and get a feel for what it was like travelling in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. On this special day though limited access to the cockpits of the airliners will be possible. Guests will be able to sit in Captain or Co-pilot seats and get a detailed briefing including a simulated take off sequence with checklists etc. I will be part of a 2 man team looking after guests on the Trident that day. If you are interested you need to book your session in advance. More info is available on the Society website http://das.org.uk/british-airliner-flight-deck-experience/ If you fancy a walk down memory lane it would be lovely to see you down there
