The Argus (ASW aircraft slightly bigger than a C-130) was used in
severe icing conditions (low level over the North Atlantic) and
was well equipped with anti-icing and deicing equipment. They had
huge gas fired heaters (600 BTU each) one for each wing and one
for the tail, plus a 300 BTU one for cabin heating.

Are you sure about those figures? My Central Heating boiler is rated at
80,000 BTU.

Oops!...forgot to add the 'k' didn't I?...

They're 600k and 300k (600,000 and 300,000 BTU)

Thanks Mike!...
