VC10 sims at brize norton

Post by spikeXR809 »

hello everyone.

whilst at work over the weekend i noticed the building that housed the C1K and K3 Tanker sims had two large openings and i could see the two sims.

I did take some photos on my mobile but the quaility is not very good i did go up on another day with my normal camera but i am not sure how they have come out as i have not uploaded them yet, once i have i will post them.

On Wednesday afternoon whilst at work i did notice two full wrap around sim modules waiting to be housed,

Cheers Ian

Hello Ian,

Thanks for letting us know, please do post some photos here if you can. The fact that they are wrapped up must mean that they will move to a new home, that is good news!

Brooklands Museum has acquired them. Hopefully in about 5 years time one of them will be on its legs and used as a fixed base sim similar to the Concorde one.

There are some photo's on the ZA150 FB page

That's great news Paul, thanks for the confirmation! I had a feeling that they would go to Brooklands but had not had any confirmation yet.
