Erm, actually it’s not so “simples”; it is impossible to see the wingtip from either seat. It is also totally impractical to vacate ones seat and walk down the cabin to a suitable passenger window...

I recall seeing a picture of a prototype Shorts 360 with 3 engines!

The same configuration as a Trilander, it was just about the ugliest aeroplane I've ever seen; I'm still not sure that it wasn't...

You could try "Flying" by Henry Sutton, ISBN 0-340-71735-5.

It's the story of a (fairly!) typical LHR-JFK night stop on a British 747-400, seen from the perspective of a variety of crewmembers.

I don't think you'll find too many copies of it - at least through official sources:- it's been fairly comprehensively discredited; at least as far as use of rudder in upset situations is concerned....

Well, well.

As It happens, I also have a book by Betty Beaty; I'd often wondered if she was related to David.

I too have a copy of "Call me Captain", and I agree it is one of the best, and most enjoyable, books about civil aviation in the immediate post-war world.

Thanks for both of those. It's all fascinating stuff; astonishing that something that occurred almost 70 years ago can suddenly seem as real and alive as my last New York nightstop,
