Many thanks Ed, it is a lovely machine indeed, an iconic piece of aviation! Always happy to hear its distinctive sound!

I love the way the steps extend and retract. I assume they operate of a "weight on wheels" switch.

Me too, such a great feature! I suppose so, it is probably governed by a sensor on the wheel, similar to how spoilers work on some of the airliners.
