Just to fill in one omission - the best EFT trainer I instructed on was the Firefly T67M260. I was originally taught on the Chipmunk - great fun. JP not fun. Bulldog - invisible tail brake chute and abysmal lack of nav aids/squawk. EFT for all three services was conducted on the Firefly, and I know it coped well in the desert. Tutor a real step backwards, and why the RAF purchased anything else from Grob baffles me. Anyone who saw Alan Wade winning the Wright Jubilee or showing at RIAT & Farnborough knew what the aircraft could do.
