Stilton
Hi again my friend. There were a few; BA used a Delco Carousel 4AC INS, where AF used a Litton system. BA updated the radar to a Bendix sytem, where I believe that AF retained the original RCA fit. (The RCA radar was awfully unreliable (rubbish actually, and very expensive to fix) , although most of the guys would agree that it gave a superbly detailed picture, better for mapping than the Bendix.
BA used quite a sophisticated Plessey integrated flight data system, where the AF recording system was a little simpler.
There were various other minor differences, but I think that's just about it.

Dude
