EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and focus of a RAF Volunteer Reserve pilot as he undergoes instruction on a Link Trainer at Gatwick, circa 1940. The Link Trainer, an early flight simulator, played a crucial role in preparing pilots for combat during World War II. In this image, the pilot is seen adjusting the position of his aircraft model on the trainer in relation to marks on a chart. These marks were created by the inked wheel of a self-propelled and steerable crab, which the instructor used to manually control the transmission of simulated radio beacon signals. By manipulating the crab, the instructor could simulate various aircraft positions and navigation challenges, helping the student pilot hone his skills in navigating through complex airspace. The Link Trainer was a vital tool for the RAF Volunteer Reserve, providing essential training for pilots who were often called upon to fly transport aircraft in support of the war effort. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and determination of the pilots who bravely took to the skies during wartime.
