This has been a fascinating thread to trawl through as a "layman" and rather co-incidentally I today inherited a copy of Pilots Notes for Meteor 3 (2nd Ed A.P.2210C-P.N and dated March 1949) and a copy of the RAF Pilots Notes General (3rd Ed A.P.2095 and Dated May 1946).
My Uncle, who sadly passed away earlier this year, worked on Meteors at Duxford for his National Service and my father has kindly ensured that these, along with some other aviation bits and pieces have been kept for me.
They too make for fascinating reading and I'm interested to know just how long such Pilots Notes were produced for?
Presumably, as aircraft became more complex a 36 page booklet ceased to suffice, even as a handy checklist for aircrew. Or perhaps I'm completely wrong!
Anyway, hope everyone is having a good Christmas and enjoys and happy new year.
