Think I might have the original LOCKHEED integrated avionics user manual in the loft somewhere. Interestingly we had triple INS that was exactly the same as used on Apollo rockets (8?)to get them to the moon and back...pucker L/Haul!
I also worked for BEA when we bought the 100's and compared to our biggest aircraft at the time the Trident 3 I recall seeing the first delivered aircraft parked behind Viscount House and thinking it resembled a block of flats with wings!
As an ex ginger beer on the tritanic with a UK charter airline I can tell you that I always had the Normal Checklist in one hand and the Emergency Checklist in the other. 411A your glasses must be a shade tinted, but at the time it was an awesome machine.
Funnily the endurance was dictated by how long you could keep the oil in the 22B engines and not fuel burn..memories.
Sadly its time is long gone,
RIP.
