Happy days indeed, but for all the bright ideas that never came to fruition.
You two have got me thinking. What I remember about the Seven-oh was that the F/E used to have to do something clever with the AC generators before each one could be introduced on to the buses. I think they had to be synchronised. This was, thank goodness, quite unnecessary (or done automatically?) on the engineer-less One-Eleven. As far as I can remember, the F/E had no such task on the VC10 either.
Going to have to ransack the garage again. Watch this space...
