Here I am in the cockpit of the F4 Phantom jet fighter Simulator at the Yorkshire Flight Centre, near Knaresborough. The whole thing is on a hydraulic rig to simulate movement. I've played Flight Simulator on my PC for years, but this was something else! They had me flying on the deck, under pylon wires, and between the towers at Dounreay power station. I definitely would have caused a nuclear incident if I had been flying for real. It's nice not to have to pay the consequences of your actions - other than being thrown around the cockpit if I got a bit too energetic with the ol' joystick . Couldn't stop grinning for ages :-)
