See this pic http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/application ... mgtype=jpg
Looks to be maybe something to do with the airspeed indicator it has a small propeller that drives a cable like a car speedometer.


Not got a problem with title the video didn't work at first so looked it up

[Sooty655]

I think it would be a bit close to the prop wash to give a reliable air speed indication. Maybe a ram air generator to power modern electrical instruments?

[Hungry Haggis]

I stand corrected and in the corner. ^^ Over there. Had a look at the other picks on the CAA site and see what you mean about it being too close

[Fenderman]

Think you're spot on there Sooty. On closer inspection it does look like a small generator. Air Britain site has a picture of NE with its wings folded and you get a good view of it.

'Misleading' It was nothing more than a typo, Errors can't be termed as misleading due to the lack of intent
