I thought I would post a couple of pictures, for the railway fans, my dad took during his journeys to/from Canada.
I didn't realise that the big diesel locos were available during the war.

It was difficult enough to keep a Sycamore or Whirlwind upright during instrument flying, let alone trying to do a self interpreted approach.
I remember my introduction to the Whirlwind 10 at Ternhill and although the instrument panel looked more like that of a rotary Chipmunk it at least, I thought, had an ILS. Not so - it had, using the same indicator as a JP5 ILS, an system called Violet Picture which was used to home onto SABRE transmissions from downed aircrew.
