"I believe the BAC 1-11/475 was intended to have nosewheel braking to go with its fat lower pressure mainwheels for operation from rough airstrips. Fawcett used a couple in Peru but the one I flew, GAZUK, brought from them by Mediterrean Express did not."
26,
AFAIK none of the 475's had nosewheel brakes - at least I don't think they were fitted when they left Hurn. The only 1-11 variant I know to have an extreme braking requirement was the Type 670, which was intended to get into one of the Japanese offshore islands even in a tropical downpour (think 475 with normal tyres). They modified G-ASYD with different manufacturer's braking & anti-skid systems on pallets in the cabin but, while I did some of the electrical work, I don't know if nosewheel brakes were installed for that variant either.
