I don't know how much of this tired olde pilote stuff you can stand, but
IMHExperience several times in the trusty old DC3, I have craned to look at
a piece of the sky lurking behind the top centre-mount liquid compass to
find a neat but solid aircraft bearing down - and swore never to put one
there. The intervening years have softened those rabid declarations though
and if it can be EASILY seen around I think that's where the standby compass
will go. I never had to use it in anger.
