Sabre Steering

Nosewheel steering on the Sabre was always one of its weak points. Being electro-hydraulic gave it every opportunity to screw up on you - usually in the form of a hard over when the electrics went down to earth.
And you did, of course, have to engage it manually by hitting the switch on the yoke.
Looks like Damien Webber will have some work on his hands though!
