Hi Andy

That's interesting - there is certainly a morse key on the W/O desk in the Stirling. I have yet to think about the W/O any deeper for my documentary.

The pilot on the Stirling did have one morse key - well two in fact. One operated the upper and lower ident lights and the other the formation lights. Not quite sure how long a message he would have had to signal.

The Pilot seems to have been a very busy person!

Cheers
James
