Thankyou! What was that park brake lever- directly connected by cable? Must be the biggest one flying. That moving map is just Doppler? BEA did some work with Decca, didn't it? We had Doppler on the VC10- really only gave you digital L/R and DTG, no map at all. Hopeless over the sea, reasonably accurate (I think) over terrain with features. Not the best for an aeroplane that crossed oceans!
BEA would put the meal tray on the back of the copilot's seat. Designed so the 3rd pilot stabs himself in the face whilst trying to eat breakfast on final approach into Paris when the copilot adjusts his seat for landing?
