BOAC if you want how it should be done look up the newish Swissair MD 80 with a fire in the overhead panel...
Smoke appeared around 10 mins out of Munich...did a 180 and landed downwind within 10 mins..stand to be corrected on the time.
No forward viz and co pilot was fanning the skippers ASI to read the airspeed.
Everything covered in ash.
Skipper (mate of mine) was walking around with hand in bandages for a month or so from being burnt.
Fire from battery emergency bus...circuit breaker underfloor.
Another but more resent was an airbus airborne LHR with several hydraulic failure warnings - pages said off load all systems..did a quick circuit -Apparently computor failure.
So there are some pilots still who can fly but they wouldn't be 150hr pay to fly ones.
