My last trip to Linton was to have a go in the Tucano. At the time one of the aspects of my day job was lead-in training for occasional students from a Middle Eastern country who were to go on to RAF BFTS. Over a couple of years one of them actually made it through both Linton and Valley...
And I was also involved with Grading for students from same part of world going on to helicopter training. My colleague had an interesting experience... Short finals, T67, sound of mobile phone ringing. Student abandons controls, retrieving phone from flying suit lower leg pocket....
