BOAC - I can't see any fault from Ryanair either. The Standby pwr for VHF2 was just me trying to think a little outside the box...
Sorry Mike Jenvy, but the piece that got my hairs a little on end was the bit in your first post suggesting that by having no APU on landing carriers were trading safety for money. (maybe I read a little too far into your post?) Just on the 737 (being a little too clockwork) it isn't (IMHO) appropriate.
