The RA would have been a great advantage for the flypast! BTW, Jhieminga, you picture the RA on the R/H panel of G-ARVM at Brooklands. What about the L/H, or has the whole panel been removed?

Hi finncapt,
I'm thinking the SOP for autoland on the line might have been for the copilot to call the heights? Presumably, that's what AH would have done on this occasion.

(Our standards [1103s and an 1109] didn't have autoland equipment or RAs, but as stated elsewhere they had a variant of the super wing to enable FL430. It included droop-snoot tips and the Flaps 14½° setting, which was obligatory for NBO/LGW or even EBB/LGW.)
