500N - re listening to music

In the Tornado, yes (and the nav listened too). The rear cockpit had probably the most expensive cheap cassette player in the world, primarily for loading mission data into the computer. The tape machine could be used for recording cockpit conversation, so you could narrate the mission progress for later debrief. It could also be used for playing music cassettes, but at your own risk, as it had a propensity for chewing up the tapes (including the mission data - manual data entry anyone?).

Hey, it's nearly 15th, are you as excited as I am... Where is SAM?
