quote "Original GRs and FRS1 had a RAT. This was simply a wind driven electrical generator".
I would never have expected you to get this wrong Spon
. The FRS1 RAT was purely Hydraulic and was removed during the Phase 1 update in the mid 80s to be replaced by a second No 2 hyd accumulator.
Emergency electrics came either from the APU driven 6KVA genny or the battery. The RAT had never been used in anger so good candidate for weight saving and space production.
The second main genny was added at the same time in anticipation of the extra power requirement coming with the FA2 upgrade.
Sorry, getting a bit off thread.
