wasn't it the Sea Vixen which had the ultimate blend of mixing systems - with fuel cooled, hydraulically driven AC generators?
BEags mon brave:
May I put in a counter bid for the windscreen wipers on the mighty Wessex?
Electrically driven hydraulic pumps which drove Bowden cables to the wipers.
The final touch of genius by Mr Sikorski was to locate the Captain's wiper motor between the co-pilot's feet and
vice-versa.
When one of the pumps leaked hydraulic fluid copiously - which was often - one had to choose as handling pilot either one whose feet were swimming in OM-15, but who could see out, or a pilot with dry feet who couldn't.
And it always seemed a little "over-engineered" when the requirement was to wipe a flat screen on an aircraft with a Vmax probably lower than BEags' "Teutonic Tourer"
