Thanks for the link grebllaw123d. The pilot's enthusiasm comes through well - don't blame him - I'd love to have flown the aircraft!

Bit OT, but he does state that electrical generation is "1.4 Gigawatts" - perhaps he meant Megawatts? But on the question of the RAT, it isn't clear how electrical generation is achieved. Is there a pump and a generator installed in the RAT or is the RAT only a hydraulic pump which then drives a separately-installed hydraulically-driven generator?

edit: by the look of it in the photo provided by DaveReidUK, I'd say the RAT was only a hydraulic pump.
