Can't believe how much hearing loss I got. Those Darts are noisy. Was a good excuse to ignore the missus when i was home.

I found this by accident Gabon Express 748 at work. It also goes on to show their Caravelle.

It's a bit of a British triumph really, especially when compared with the F27.
An aircraft constructed with a wry sense of humor as evidenced in the drill for radio crate failure. Used to have a lot of amusement with that when converting pilots onto the 748 down in Africa.

Does the drill mentioned involve the P1's sense of smell and a rubber bung perhaps?
