Heard that flying the Beverley was like flying a council house from the upstairs bathroom window!
Council houses
have bathrooms?
Re. the Whistling Tit, there was once some brilliant idea in the RAF to turn them into T Mk 2 multi-crew trainers - with QFIs, U/T pilots, U/T air engineers, air engineer instructors on the flight deck - and a misplot of astrologers in the back learning to be navigators. Fortunately this daft idea was soon canned, thanks to defence cuts reducing the requirement for non-fast jet aircrew!
When we were handled by Duncan Aviation at Lincoln Nebraska once during an RAF VC10K trip, they told us that they still operated the Whistling Tit somewhere north - and if we knew where there were any spare windscreens, they'd pay a lot for them!
