RAF and Autoland
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Herod, quite right. Al Bowman was at Goose when a Vulcan fell through the hangar floor. The crew was on board for a hangar start. Al, a Victor man and flt or sqn cdr, immediately got hold of the Vulcan captain and discussed the accident, thus disbarring himself from the BOI.

We didn't have Autoland on the F3, but we did have Auto Approach; needless to say, we weren't cleared to use it, but suffice to say it flew a very respectable ILS approach, far more accurately and smoothly than moi......

57mm, ah, the military way, why do it easily when you can do it the hard way on the basis that the automatics may fail.
I can think of several other things that were designed to work automatically but we always did it manually just-in-case. Thinks, how much lighter, less complicated and cheaper if we left out automatics, say starting with George.
