NIMROD flight simulator
« on: October 31, 2008, 09:05:48 PM »
As a visitor of the Flight-simulator weekend of 1-2 November at the Dutch Aviodrome aviation theme museum a Nimrod flight simulator arrived this week. This flight simulator was used for crew training and it could do 'everything but flying'. The simulator dates from the late seventies and works completely according to the techniques of that time! The machine is fully operational and will be demonstrated over the weekend.

After this weekend it will stay for a while at the museum and it is for sale at EURO 50.000 (including transport lorry!).

Is the price of 50.000 high or low?

Price is not too high and I guess you already have a deal for EURO 40,000!
Simulator will stay for the time being at the Aviodrome although there are no direct plans to purchase it.
We also still have a DC-3, G-DAKK, at the platform that is for sale (EURO 175,000). It has not flown since a year but it can be made airworthy again without too much trouble....
