Research on the BAC 1-11 electrical systems
I understand that the most complicated electrical system ever was the Bristol Britannia. I flew that back in the very early 70's and the 1-11 in the 80's. The ARB technical exam was a nightmare on the Brit. The 1-11 was simple in comparison. It was the wiffle tree that got me on the 1-11.
Forget: "Am I missing something? 3 crew 737. "
Some early US 737-200 users (United, Western, Piedmont) did initially have the "seat with nothing to do" arrangement which was a union thing.

Surely the Lufthansa 737-100s, the first built, had a Flight Engineers console. There are several references to this but I can't find a photo.
Interesting. I often flew on the flight deck of MSA's 737s. I thought they were 200s - but they had only two crew. I'm sure there was never a Flight Engineer's console on any 737.
PS. ChitterneFlyer, disregard Krakaprat.
