Nice pics, and nice to know that the Centaur came on board the B741, though AI never had any of the type. On a silly note, I read the NLG wheel well door code RA001, as `raddi' (rubbish).
Cheers, Sumantra. |

Here is a better view of the Centaur, from 1968.

I just knew someone would say that - though I didn't figure that would be you. 
And I believe "raddi" is "scrap", rather than garbage.

But of course. Trust me to think of stupid things, and...in a sleepy moment, also type out rubbish/`scrap-without-the-s'. Indeed, raddI is `scrap'.
