I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Tacan

I said we had tacan, I didn't say we used it

Apart from instruments we had no other nav aids except the dirft sight and map reading. Gee and Rebecca were not installed. At that time we also had limited pneumatics with the bomb doors locked shut.

One of the Eng Os asked me if we would like the bomb doors to work and I said it would be a nice to nice to have option. Also after I broke the astrodome they made a fairing to cover the hole. At one airshow this chap came and asked where the astrodome was. He then said his company did perspex mouldings and offered to replace all the mouldings for the cockpit for free.

At the time there was a blister panel on the starboard side for the nav to look down for pinpoints. The new persex also had a blister on the port side too as he thought there should have been one on each side.
