It’s great to have your history, Jim.  I do love to feel a connection with the 
past.

I had to look up AEDC but I see that it is to do with simulation facilities.  
I’m in the process of bidding for a  little money (£5.5m) to upgrade our 
disorientation trainers – 6 DoF simulators with visuals.  The visual displays 
in our current simulators are OK for the moment, but they will not persuade 
young pilots in a few years time and I’m angling for displays that are almost 
as good as Hollywood-standard CGI with which to provide realistic situations 
with visual illusions to train our pilots to stay safe.

But it’s going to be an uphill struggle in the current pecuniary climate . . .
