Wow these pics are fabulous.
The Link trainer brought back lots of memories. We had one of those in our Air Training Corps squadron hut and it was on this that I had my earliest flying lessons as a teenager. If you lost control and got into a spin it would topple to about 45 degrees then go round and round. The instructor would leave you spinning until you were really dizzy then he would switch it off from the outside. You very quickly learned how to fly instruments without becoming disorientated, I am sure the lessons I learned there have saved my life at least once when I have been up there solo in cloud in a real aircraft.
I was also especially interested in the Texan. My dad serviced those while he was with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War 2 and post war his younger cousin flew solo in the Texan (or Harvard as we call it over here) before going on to become a flight engineer on bombers.
