Centaurus, I don't know whether this incident has stuck in your mind. I arrived at 34 mid 1969 to instruct on the BAC1-11. Due aircraft commitments, one day there I was with nothing to do, so you decided to give me a few circuits in the Dragmaster. The briefing was brief - "you fly and I'll talk you through". The first take-off and circuit went reasonably, and we settled on final at about the right speed. When we arrived at the point in the flare that I thought was about right, I slipped the thrust(?) levers to idle. ****! It was like hitting a wall. This being my first attempt to manage Darts and their strange propeller habits, it came as quite a surprise. I think it was about then that you pointed out that in a turboprop (if that is the right description) the power levers were sacrosanct until one was on the ground.
Trust you are still going well, as I am.
