Talkdownman,

Love to see an old 424 again. But work it? Nah. It'd take me a week to find the markers, rain or no rain. I hope yours is in a museum and not really being relied on for thrilling the travelling public!! Mind you having said that I did manage to talk down a Herald many years ago when all the south coast and his Channel Island alternates went out in fog and he decided to die in my hands. I managed to talk him down to half a mile (or maybe even a few feet further) but the silly bugger only saw one line of runway lights and decided he knew which side of the lights the runway was. And it wasn't the side he chose, but everyone lived to tell the tale.
