Thanks, Archer

But money does not grow on trees so do not want to spend $$$ on operating manuals although it is awesome to see official EL AL operating manual for Bristol Britannia!

Regards,

Aharon

I can understand that but the questions you asked are quite specific. Unless someone else has a set of manuals for the Britannia you might just get a few guesses. The advantage of these manuals is that you can sometimes go through the entire preflight calculations using the tables in the manuals. Depends a bit on what's in them, with some types the needed tables are in separate documents that are often not available.

I have a photocopy of Chapter 1 but it only gives locations of instruments etc - no speeds.

You could try ebay
