PK>* Jim Cole mentioned to Bill Wunsch ...
PK> JC> It had the Roll-Royce Spey engine and was a noisy bugger.
PK>They even had noisy starters. If you were standing anywhere within a
PK>half mile of the rear of a BAC 1-11 starting up you'd be excused for
PK>thinking something had flown off as the starter disengaged. Sounded
PK>like a Bendix gear coming loose at a zillion RPM and flying overhead.
But you know the Friends I had that flew them loved them. The Co-Jocks
especially liked having the Steering on their side also. Your leg, your
steering.
