411A, just curious, what was the comment by Davies made to Boeing in re the British [B]not[B] be allowed onh the British civil register.still have the first edition 40 years later). I'd love to know what he said...
He mentioned, in no uncertain terms, that the 707 rudder power system absolutely needed to be re-designed, period, least the 707-400 series aeroplanes, as ordered by BOAC not be allowed onto the British civil register.
