Meteors etc

Ah, Beagle; I was at John Steele's funeral service too. A great character. Teeteringhead, you are right; the AH had mechanical air valves at the side, set in the same circular mode - clockwise I think - so that forward acceleration on take-off would cause one to open and the other to stay shut, giving an erroneous indication. We lost several good men because of that. John.
