Guys, your right and I stand corrected.
Of course I meant the 'abnormal' and not the 'emergency' checklist a little over enthusiasm perhaps.
Nevertheless by the time we (Caledonian) had the Tritanic in its final days it was in a sorry state and indeed the 'abnormal' checklist was a regular feature.
Not quite sure why my age appears as 41 when it is 51....
I just cant wear the same specs as the pro Tristar posters.....as a ground engineer for 20 years before becoming a ginger beer it was the most labour intensive and by far the most troublesome aircraft I ever worked on. I recall the O ring incident but not the carrier...somebody will of course.
memories and Nostalgia...oh yes, queen of the skies? personal opinion....the Trident was the Original 3C aeroplane
(long before the Tristar) now that WAS a technology breakthrough!
I still have a picture somewhere of a Trident 1 landing in the fog at Bedford for the first true A/LAND. Apologies for thread creep in advance.
