and the cockpit had Flight Directors. Collins FD-102 Flight Directors, but hey they were Flight Directors. Little did I know then just how much grief those bloody FD-102 Flight Directors would cause me later
You were conned. DC3's don't need flight directors for goodness sake. Nor did HS 748's but that didn't stop a certain RAAF Wing Commander from being talked into buying the Collins FD 108 for a bunch of brand new HS 748's for the RAAF in 1966. It cost the RAAF a huge amount of time and money to integrate the Collins FD 108 with the Smiths autopilot system.
