I won’t do this justice, but had one of my early BFJT sims with Jaguar Bill as we called him. The conversation went something like:

JB: ‘So, going to Sea Harriers then?’
Orca: ‘Hoping so, yes Sir.’
JB: ‘Good. Single seat jet.’
Orca: ‘Yes Sir. Yes it is.’
JB: Leaning forward, menacing: ‘And what do we think of twin seat?’
Orca, sitting back, taken aback: ‘Never really thought about it Sir.’
JB: Both arms out, both thumbs down. ‘No good is what we think!’

Jaguar Bill was the sort of instructor that you wanted; you relaxed when you saw it was him that you had for the sortie - but knew you’d get a good work out and a fair report.
