3rdtime lucky - you win some, you loose some. Used to fly the J41 into Gatwick and at times they peeled us off well before WILLO and popped us into 08 because they knew we could. Gear down at FL 120, props levers fully forward (icing on if it gets tight) and down we go. Great fun. Jets were given lots of extra track miles to get the height off.
Now what really used to irritate was slowing down for an ATP ahead into Southampton when we could have easily overtaken him
