I found another example of Wing Pecking in the book by Eric Brown but this is different. It was on a Supermarine Spiteful, which was a Spitfire with wings that were modified to be laminar flow wings. According to Brown, early models of the Spiteful had three degrees less dihedral and a sharper wing leading edge. The clean stall was preceded by a very large amount of lateral pecking followed by a port wing drop to about 80 degrees. This makes me wonder if my earlier post about the Meteor was also lateral pecking as compared to the flying wing pecking which appears to be a nose up/down oscillation that occurs on some flying wings.
