Was the book 'Notes from a Small Mind' by Rob Sawyer ?
Just read it myself. Good book. Easy read.
I remember the BR 1-11 and the probs. with the R/T in the 70's.
The machine that flew Southampton to Scotland was always bad.
Do you remember Dick Bentley. Crew chief D Watch South Bank ?
Well his brother (inlaw maybe, I can't recall,) was a BR Captain and I talked to Dick about this R/T prob. He said that the crews of BR were aware of what we heard on the ground but it was a fault on the BR 1-11s radios.

MR G.
