When I was in the Aviation section I spotted a rare looking object hidden away in a corner and on closer inspection I noticed that is was a original Link Trainer Simulator dated 1943.
I am no expert in planes or anything, but I have read of this devise and here is a little transcript:
Quoted Text
The Link Trainer holds a significant place in aviation history. It was the first true flight simulator, and provided safe training to hundreds of thousands of student pilots during the 1930s and 40s. Using the skills gained working at his father's piano and organ factory, and his own flying experience, Edwin Link designed and built his "pilot trainer" which was patented in 1931. It provided a realistic depiction of flight, and was especially useful in teaching instrument flying. The Link Trainer came into widespread use during the Second World War, with thousands being built for the American, British and Commonwealth air forces. It was a technological marvel at the time of its invention, and its legacy can be seen in modern flight simulators.
I find this Simulator such a beauty that I needed to snap some pictures of it and I thought of you guys.
Maybe someone wants to build this into a model/diorama so I tried to take some clear pictures.
I talked to one of a the museum staff and the simulator is a bit fragile but it still works!
This particular Simulator used to train the Belgian volunteers in England before they received they're spitfires, the paining of the plane used to represent a Spit, but during the '70 it has gotten an new paint job.
Here is the link to the album, containing 38 pictures
