Lacking Nomad time are we ?
I never poled one that I can recall, but I spent some time hanging on in the back as ballast for flight test work (he may have had his faults but Stuart certainly could make the beastie sit up and beg) and in the RHS as the flight test writer-downer of things. At the time of the latter work, I was flying the F27 and wouldn't have thought the Nomad was anywhere near as noisy as the Fokker ?
Actually, through the fog of time, I vaguely recall that the noise was due to the pressurisation blower ... the joys of getting progressively younger ....
Would you guys speak up....
Pass, friend.
