More on the Wessex Windscreen Wiper:
Hydraulics on top of Electrics!
Hydraulic Fuse!
And, possibly, the final indignity...they were crossed-over!
As the system was fitted on the Whirlwind, they (sensibly) put all the gubbins on the left - out of the Pilot's way.
When the Wessex came along.....they put the second motor on the right.
So, if you adjust the speed on them them (box on bulkhead under nose-door) remember that!
Ground check completed!
Great Beast Though!
It was early days & it did have a lot of good engineering design.
