英國劍橋郡５３歲航空迷肯尼思·莫克福特用５年時間，花費超過１０萬英鎊（約合８５.５萬元人民幣）在自家花園裡建成兩個波音７３７－８００飛機模擬駕駛艙和一個“山貓”直升機模擬駕駛艙。

這些駕駛艙“藏”在莫克福特家花園裡一幢看似普普通通的房子裡，從駕駛艙外殼到裡面的機器、儀表，無一不是仿照真實駕駛艙打造。幾塊電腦屏幕可以模擬出飛行和起降時的地面和天空情景。

除瞭建模擬駕駛艙，莫克福特還建瞭一小部分波音飛機的客艙，裡面的座椅、舷窗、行李存放空間、天花板、地板等細節都與真實客艙無異。

莫克福特出生於飛行世家，父親、叔叔、祖父、曾叔祖父都當過英國空軍飛行員。他本人曾在南非空軍服役。
莫克福特最初只是利用業餘時間造模擬駕駛艙，但隨著對這件事越來越著迷，他２０１４年辭去高薪工作，專心致志地建造駕駛艙。他從世界各地淘來建駕駛艙用的零部件，有些零部件買不到，就用３Ｄ打印機製作。
據英國每日郵報２７日報道，莫克福特造的“山貓”直升機模擬駕駛艙是英國唯一對公眾開放的這種機型的模擬駕駛艙。那兩個波音飛機模擬駕駛艙則為想考取波音７３７駕駛執照的人提供瞭練習機會。（歐颯）【新華社微特稿】

Cambridge County, 53-year-old aviation fans Kenneth Mockford with 5 years, spent more than 100,000 pounds (about 855,000 yuan) in their own garden built two Boeing 737-800 aircraft simulation cockpit and A "Bobcat" helicopter simulates the cockpit.These cockpit "Cang" in the Mokfurt home garden in a seemingly ordinary house, from the cockpit shell to the inside of the machine, instrument, and all are modeled on the real cockpit to build. A few computer screens can simulate the ground and sky scenarios when flying and landing.In addition to modeling the cockpit, Mockford also built a small part of the Boeing aircraft cabin, inside the seats, portholes, luggage storage space, ceilings, flooring and other details are no different with the real cabinMokfort was born in the flight family, father, uncle, grandfather, father had served as British Air Force pilots. He himself served in the South African Air Force.Mockford initially used amateur time to simulate the cockpit, but with the fascination with the matter, he resigned in 2014 to work high and concentrate on building the cockpit. He from all over the world to build cockpit parts, some parts can not buy, with the use of 3D printers.According to the British Daily Mail reported on the 27th, Mokfurt made "Bobcat" helicopter simulation cockpit is the only British open to the public model of this cockpit. The two Boeing Aircraft Simulated Cockpit offers practice opportunities for those who want to take the Boeing 737 driver's license. (European Sa) [Xinhua News Agency micro-draft]
