There's a convenience store in Sydney, which has a full blown A320 flight simulator in the back, behind all the shelves of snacks. The owner of the store is a migrant to Australia, who is (was?) waiting for his overseas aircraft maintenance engineer qualifications to be locally recognised. He's turned the simulator into part of his business.

Edit: Based on the street address, it might have moved out of the convenience store into its own premises since the article was written?

Further edit: Sadly, it seems as if the owner, Ahmed Abdelwahed, might have been deported. Hopefully the deportation never went ahead, or he made it back into Australia on another try.
