I knew Colin very well indeed ,and i am deeply saddened to hear of his passing away,my thoughts go to his family,what a great loss to the aviation world.

The RB162-86 turbojet (Booster) was only used in high tempreatures or high payload,the boost was selected by a switch on the P2s panel ,the engine cut out automatically at around 2,500 ft ,on another note the Trident was also known as the Gripper and Tripod ,also the Trident Three had a total of 5 engines if you count the APU.

The nose gear was offset to assist in space saving for the Smiths autoland equipment.

I got a load of SCG junk,needless to say i binned it all immeaditley. 😀
