Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yes.  Could be a D4 Mk2 which, according to Wiki, was a D4 modded into a Jet Provost.

Cool, I think I may have flown one in the distant past. Admittedly, it was at about 200 foot altitude negative, but as it was a flight simulator, no damage was done to any moles or coal miners.

Didn't take a close look but yes I think it was a Link Trainer.

There's three 'simulators' at the museum, a replica Spitfire cockpit in and an ingenious SE5A replica cockpit to sit in, ditto a Hunter cockpit (positioned next to WB188).

Glad you like the pics, Chris.
