I posted earlier very directly;

Yes.
Mayday and 7700.
No question about it in a twin.
Is there any if's buts or maybe's there?

NO! - for a very good reason - When your engine stops, you know the drills and you will have enough to work out without trying to disect the situation and thinking up what R/T you are going to use when the time comes.

Mayday at the appropriate time every time.

Even if you do not declare a MAYDAY, UK ATC are going to treat you as if you had.........because everyone knows that an engine failure in a twin is an emergency

The problem with getting this across is highlighted in one word from HWD's post above Panic. Can someone please explain the link between Mayday and Panic?
