Cheers Nigel :thumbsup:

Not seen that before

Funny how he implies the booster was to help the standard Trident take off when it was to help the larger version take off in the same distance as the smaller one.......but there you go. :)

Yes Nigel...That is Tony Angus...He was the Chief Base Training Captain in my time and I did my first three Trident flights with him on my Base Training at Prestwick in March 1975. :)
