To illustrate:
Flying from St Mawgan to Heathrow after dark in a Brymon Herald; F/O handling; asks Captain for windscreen anti ice; Captain picks up a torch (no lighting!) sees a switch and flicks it on; windscreen wipers start up!!(you couldn't make it up)
Captain says 'sorry, just spent 6 weeks on Twin Otters'!
