Viscount - last year in UK
 
Hi folks,
In the UK I was the last to qualify on the Viscount (with BWA) and ....no, before you even think it, it was not my fault if the last 3 were sold off to ....
I no longer have access to my flying archives but I would like to get in contact with the engineer(s) who repaired OPFI ? AOHM ? PFBT ?
One of the 3 had the "no compass-no gyro" out of Coventry, but which one ? We flew the a/c with the proverbial Bernie-the-bolt directions from the air traffic controller (for those not familiar with the program : " Up a bit...stop your climb / left a bit...stop your turn....etc... ) It was a grotty night with low cloud base all the way but it lifted above Belfast and we landed visually.
Any captain(s), any copilot(s) of that fleet who would remember that ? Please get in touch .
I have trawled the internet for details/diagrams/photos of the Smiths navigation system (as installed on the above a/c) but to no avail. Could anyone help ?
Grateful thanks
R.B.
