Un immense merci à celui qui a réalisé cette vidéo souvenir du N° 10 et aussi merci à Andrew qui l'a postée . Hélas ,cet avion en parfait état de vol en 1994 sera massacré un an plus tard par les ferrailleurs ( en septembre 1995 ) ! . Pourquoi ? .
Did the control cables from the yokes run from the hump to the tail through the roof, over the passengers' heads? If so then it must have been a complete rebuild from the DC4, which presumably had them running under the floor, under the passengers' feet. Does anyone know the answer to this?
The control cables turned 90 degrees over to the sidewall before running down the wall and back under the cargo hold floor, changing directions 6 times before following the original routings.

@@davidray6762 Many thanks David! I have been trying to find the answer to that for years! I don't suppose you can answer me the same question for the 747 can you?
@@paulmurphy42 No and Yes?, I Don't know about the early builds but I would think that by the later models everything would be fly by wire rather than cables and pulling. I grew up in Southend where the Carvair was born. Only 3 were converted there thecrest being assembled at Stansted. From my bedroom window I looked out to a panoramic view of the flightpath for departing or arriving aircraft. In the mid 70's I chartered two Carvairs to move some heavy oil related equipment from Kirkwall to Dusseldorf, and back. I was fortunate to travel with the crew 'up top' on one of the jump seats each way. Best flights ever.
Still working thru digitising. Plenty more to come.
Wonderful stuff. Thanks for posting this Andrew.

Fantastic video, really interesting footage. That is the ex British Air Ferries G-ASKG. Thanks Andrew
Quite possibly my Dad flew that one when it was with BAF.
There's one of these parked at Rand Airport near SAA museum...
Fantastic video! Thank you!

@@davidray6762 Thanks again for the reply. The 747 definitely isn't fbw though, not even the later models, although the 777 and 787 are.
So classic 👌
Excellent.
Brilliant!
Wow
Fake 747
ATL98 came first
