The video shows the SEP hall; the cabin simulators there are - well, were - bits of old fuselages (or actual plywood) with no moving parts with the exception of the 737 which rested on some hydraulic jacks. These have all been replaced with much higher spec ones on the second floor of TBC, built by BA Engineers. The actual plane sims (the ones used for pilots) have all been moved to TBA or sold.
Here how TBA looks these days (or a couple years ago):
There really is beauty in the detail of the building, both inside and out.
From the outside, many would look and think, gosh, what an awful looking load of concrete. But, if you know, then you know. It's the same detail that features at Hatton Cross Tube station on the pillar tiles at platform level.
History that just sits quietly in the background.
