[QUOTE=kenparry;10135257]Not quite. The first addition to later buys was HF; then, rather later, PDCS and Omega.
Ah yes, but the PDCS was never "approved" to be used on it's own, we had to double check it with paper booklet inserts! The OMEGA worked well if there were no clouds around....as soon as you flew in cloud, it would go into DR and the weather radar at full tilt down was a better indicator of where you were going!!! That's how we used to find BARLU, find Cherbourg on the radar and head just to the NE!
I meant that the 1 DME that was on the LHS VOR was always the same even on mid 80s deliveries. The sheer luxury when BAL leased an ex DanAir machine with 2 DMEs, oh, the sheer joy!
