Awesome!!!!

If you have the room for it the options are only limited by imagination (and a loving wife)!

It rather begs the question, where's the rest of it?

Anyway, I suppose you could mount it on a plaque and hang it outside your house. It would easily trump a zebra or wildebeest trophy.

Like that, would look great with a wall built around the rear of it, as though it had just broken through and a bar inside with aircraft seats of course and a hostess..!!

Bizarre as it sounds its actually what i do for a living. Buy old jets and convert them into simulators. 500 quid was the winning bid, not bad as these things go for silly money. However the company i got it off folded, so still dont know if i will get it or not. we will see. glad i didn't pay for it.

I have another one to keep me busy for now :)

That is quite possibly the coolest job I have ever heard since Mark Evans!

How much would I have to pay?

Well, what I *want* it not really relevant :) Just wondering what ball park for one of your simulators is?

One of those length of string questions, depends on a whole load of things. For a nice setup of a puddle hopper like a 737 between 20-60K. For something a bit special like a trans-atlantic jet or concorde using an actual aircraft then its around 90-140K. Working on the Falcon900ex tonight, full motion D-sim, £13 million :unsure:

First pic is of a customers setup, thats about 50K, located in his basement. 2nd pic is tonight's entertainment. 3rd pic is my personal toy, very much a work in progress. I mainly manufacture all the flight deck instrument panels and avionics. comes in handy for interior bits :)

Have a few cheeky ones then look at this http://www.ebay.com/itm/757-Cockpit-/261846052695
