Danny,
2501 todo ? Didn't have any success with it
Sorry to hear that Danny. If you try again, scroll down past the first image (for that is all that it is), ignore the "download now" pdf file (for that requires membership to do so), and below them is a second "document" image that can indeed be scrolled through page by page, or by selecting "pages" can be scrolled through far quicker to the required page that can then be opened up on its own. It was the same with the Vengeance PNs, if you remember.

In commemoration of BoB day, here's the Hurricane PNs, another Hawker classic:-
AP 1564A Hurricane I Aeroplane - Merlin II Engine
AP 1564B&D Pilot's Notes Hurricane IIA, IIB, IIC, IID and IV Aircraft - Merlin XX Engine

Birds have been the Achilles heel of jet aviation from the very beginning, and with modern high bypass ones probably more so now than ever. The daily feeding habits of large waterfowl in particular, together with the juxtaposition of many international airports and waterways, have given rise to some very scary moments to date. Perhaps the most famous instance was that of 15 January 2009, when Flight 1549 ended up in the Hudson River after suffering a total power loss. That all survived is thanks to the airmanship and professionalism of Captain Sullenberger and his crew.

There have been many attempts to deal with this threat but, birds being birds, it will always be with us. No amount of firing chickens into tethered engines, or hawks, or noise, or grass cutting, etc, will remove it, though they all help to alleviate it. Perhaps the greatest contribution to prevention is the siting of airfields and their associated arrival and departure routes.

So where is Boris proposing to site the new London Airport again?
