Beardy and Vendee ,
Seem to remember VC10s had a streamlining nose cone for 5th Pod , possibly the 747 ; but not sure on 74 .
2 engine ferryflight on a HS Trident , yes it did happen I still have the tie !
The dead engine was '' Spragged '' or was it '' Sragged '' [ broom handle bolted thru' from front to back to stop rotation . Not sure if drag , or oil pressure reasons ] .
V1, V2 calcultations interesting ; as was our ''escape route '' , down the river Bollin valley from Manch's old rwy 24. Then G/A point , technique and assured landing at LHR .
rgds condor .
