A bit of nostalgia for the kipper fleet
Saw this on another site and thought it might bring memories back to a couple of the readers.

Biggest memory that came back from the Radar picture are the words written on the back of every scratchpad - Sorry Spike 
The new cockpit? I thought a glass cockpit was complicated at first, but it didn't take long to catch on.
And the 2 most complex looking keypads, inboard of the knees, replace the Route Nav so that must be good

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Without the nav and the eng the need will have halved.
However on the E3 the SLF after their time on the Shack and a lead from the cousins they declared the aircraft as self-catering. I don't know what happened at the sharp end.

I see the Radar's VCR control panel is blanked off.
Have they put Teac's finest Black and White Low Def 1980 piece of junk back into storage, ready to be put into the P8?
From the people who brought you, a smaller toaster by blanking over half the slots, recording a colour TV picture on a B&W VCR

The cockpit and galley look familiar, the radar and nav panels are long after my time.
As regards the buttons, got detailed off to show the members of Campbeltown
council round a Shack during a detachment from Kinloss. We were told to explain that they were intercom call buttons, one or the Nav, one for the whole crew. Never did find out what they were really for.

Ahem.....
.....is the "combing" what the more follically challenged members of the flight did to preserve their youthful appearance (a la TD?) or are we talking about the coaming?
It was unkindly suggested by the sigglywigs that for coffee delivery during the night that TD and Andy?? had their drinks requirements tattooed on their bald patches in Braille. Neither was amused!
