No WX radar. Night time. Two and a half hours being thrashed - several times the horizon bar went off the scale. Blood and sick on the ceiling. Thrown below OCL, then out of the tops only to fall back into the morass.

British Eagle had sold the jigs for putting a pressurised bulkhead in the nose of the Viscount - to Marshals IIRC. nn,000 quid. When finally we were obliged to fit a (12" dish) system, Marshals charged us about the same amount . . . per aircraft.
