AA62
Re 1010 TIT - was that setting always used during the K's life? I remember hearing that our Commonwealth allies used 980 and thought we were strange for using the higher figure.
A nav' on 30, Pete Hicks, produced reams of paper extolling the virtues of always using Long Range Cruise - I must say from a strictly range point of view I wasn't convinced. It remained HSC up to when I left in late '73.
Smuj,
You probably know this already but the shiny silver only lasted until handover to Marshalls on delivery from the US.
Dean,
I seem to recall that Marshalls fitted some of the nav' gear, particularly Decca and Loran - apart from the sextant what else did you have on the delivery flights?
I've just remembered that awful Decca Flight Log gizmo that was fitted above the engine instrument panel ( ? ) on the Thorney Hercs - we didn't have them on 48, I wonder if 36 & 24 had them?
