B707 during base flying it was very evident who is giving unnecessary input because it used to react late with lateral rocking while it was possible to fly it rock steady with proper handling.
I remember one particular day in late 1964 watching aircraft landing on a very gusty day at Heathrow, and noticing that the 707s were rocking quite a bit but the VC10s not at all. Anybody remember the VC10 being easier to control, or was I imagining it?
