Prince Charles officially opened L3Harris's new $100 million London Training Centre at Crawley, near Gatwick Airport, on July 10. The center sits adjacent to its new simulator production facility and marks a move out of the nearby Thales facility; L3 (as it was then called) acquired Thales Civil Aircraft Simulation & Training in 2012 but hired a large section of the Thales building, while Thales continued its own military simulation and training activities behind a partition wall until the new L3Harris center was ready.

UK Aviation Minister Charlotte Vere also attended the ceremony, which involved Prince Charles unveiling a plaque after flying an L3Harris Reality Seven A320 full-flight simulator into Glasgow. Charles characterized flying in his day as “by the seat of your pants and by dead reckoning” during the ceremony.
