I had forgotten the spelling so went for the origin in french. Was it a French invention?
Only a/c I worked with them was the Viscount.
I recall if maximum braking was used there would be a series of tyre marks on the runway as the wheel started to skid and then the brake released. I wondered why there are no marks on the runway behind the Vulcan. Did the pilot not use max braking even when they were near the end of the runway?
