no mention of WHAT squadron. ive never heard of any ATC squadrons having simulators. not in NZ anyway... oh wait, the seller is in W[h]anganui. i know a few people from there.

I'd love to build a sim for our unit... these just use hydraulics (i use the term loosley) to move the capsule according to the control movement. a bit like an IFR sim without the IFR instruments.

No.21 Sqn had one way back when... complete with the huge old oak desk for the instructor.

I will be watching this auction with much interest

My friend used to use those in ATC quite cool although strictly just a boring simulator they have movement according to the pilots input and the instruments used to work as well although no display so its quite difficult to get the same effect as what you have with FS with visual representation of the terrain and sky good for teaching the basics though.

Sold for $2141. Interesting piece of kit, would be cool to own but I couldn't hide it from the better half!

Looks like its coming to the Classic Flyers Museum in Tauranga judging by the winner of the auction.
