Thanks for posting this video. I collected a bunch of DECCA navigation equipment as well as LORAN-C stuff and created hardware to make it actualy work (I even once made a DECCA Flight-Logger to follow GPS cooordinates) It's a weird hobby but seeing this video it gives me an impression how it actialy was used.

Thank you for sharing I found it most interesting as an apprentice fitter in the 1953 to 1958 I worked with a Jim Monteith who had worked on the Dredges in the 1930's & it was his stories told at morning tea or lunch that inspired me to go to PNG in 1961.

Thanks for uploading this. Although we can't be certain, the gentleman in the dark suit and no hat with the papers looks to be our Uncle Ernest Watts who was local manager for Imperial Airways in Hong Kong in the 30s. We have a still picture of him standing next to the 'Dorado'. He also helped save some passengers from the 'Dorado' when it caught fire June 3rd 1938 (It was preparing to fly from Hong Kong to Bangkok). Considerable damage was caused to the 'Dorado' and the 'Daedalus' took over its schedule.

Could it take off with the nose dipped?
@Jack-bs6zb8 ай бұрын
I believe so. This aircraft provided data for the design of Concorde which used the same ofive wing and ‘droop snoot’. Concorde took off and landed with the nose in the lowered position so I’d expect this pkane to do likewise.

Wow 1968 would be the last year where only narrow bodied jets were flying, from 1969 the 747 was put into service followed by the L1011, dc10 and A300

@maxaircraft5974 Жыл бұрын
Hi, I am sorry I don't think I can be of much help here. The film came with some film related stuff within a deceased estate, the film reel was not in a can and had no markings. The most I can say is that much of the other stuff came from the Oxford area, so it is possible that the original film maker was from Oxford/Thame or there about.

What a film! As with the HP42, the cabin seems 'modern' but the remainder, no. I love the railway-type windows, to admire the scenery.
@maxaircraft5974 Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for the positive feedback. I have to wonder if the window shapes were making a virtue of necessity...perhaps fitting within the triangulations of the fuselage framing. If so, that seems an excellent design in terms of both appearance and function.

One of the loudest Air Craft I ever heard along with the Concorde and B-1 Bomber. The longest Flying Display Demo I ever saw it do was at an Air Show in 1977. Sadly it never appeared at any Air Shows in Canada after 1983. I saw it for the last time at the CNE Air Show in Toronto in 1983. It was one of the flying displays along with the Concorde which did a demo earlier in the Air Show. The last Air Show I saw it Take Off with Flying Demo was at the Annual London, Ontario, Canada International Air Show in June 1981.
