Hi guys , a redeployed pilot mate , doing searches on Belfast bound flights ; found a bomb under the seat . They were certainly there in mid- late '70s ; indeed N. Ireland flights were a volunteer operation . For Speedbird up to late '70/80s Long Haul ( LH ) had some 5th freedom rights , and we woul...

Hi Peter , good to hear about you and your brill 'pooter skills . The Plogs were great , like moving maps ; but no electricity needed . The navlogs that replaced them are not a patch , but i guess by then we had TV screens with INS / GPS moving maps .

It's annotated with nav aid usage , visual route planning ( before efis ) and diversion routes and fuel planning . It's G...

Hi guys , the T1, 2 and 3 Droop up between 225 and 250 kts IAS .i.e up by 250 and selecting down below 250, to be down by 225 . For the flaps 1985 was a long time ago , but you could cruise around in a T2 with flaps 15 or 20 at 170 or 180 kts . Fraid i gave the manuals to the guys setting up the old...
