28 September 1951 429 77ie lamps, clockwise from top tight, belong to the Percival Prince for taxying; the Airspeed Ambassador for inspection of the leading edge if icing is suspected; the Handley Page Marathon, the taxying lamp folding with the wheels; and the Percival Prince where the clean installation at the top of the fixed-leg fairing should have no measurable effect on performance. SKETCHBOOK Detail drawings of the three Fairey Gannet canopies show them to be a good compromise between size for good view and streamlined shapeliness. Note the unusual recessed window between the front and mid cockpits. On production Gannets the rear canopy will probably be shorter. That a rocket installation need not mar good empennage lines is apparent in this drawing. The aircraft is, of course, the Hawker P.1072 with Armstrong Siddeley Snarler and Rolls-Royce Nene power. (below) Auster details, strange to earlier models, are the elevator trimmers on the Model S (left) and B.4 (right). In the case of the B.4 the lever is mounted centrally on the panel, the left portion of which is devoted to instruments and the right to radio. The push-pull throttle is just visible below the trimmer. (Below) An unusually mealing illustration of radar equipment, w this case the large "beard" radome and scanner of the Shackleton.
