Radar on Trident..main factory adjacent to Priory park, Prittlewell, Southend on sea and an Anglo Saxon burial ground. Massive fire in the late fifties destroyed the factory and the stock of recently made obsolete TVs. My father referred to it as a ****** stocktake when we went to view the blaze.
Different headset used on the VC10 as the Trident iirc (BEA pilots had individual headsets). Intercom used on the latter, on the ten we lifted the inner headset speaker and conversed loudly…have tinnitus in the right ear from HF.
Smiths flight director kit on the Trident. Collins VC10.
