That brings back memories of hovering the Mk10 in manual throttle over Holyhead harbour, during SAR training
. I can remember verbatim and in its entirety a debrief I received after a dual Holyhead Harbour trip in my SAR Trg (26th February 1970 in XP 338)....

"Well, it wasn't bad enough to chop you! It wasn't even quite bad enough to refly ...... but it was F***in' awful!!!"

Whereupon I was sent solo (!!) with the caveat "..and don't take the computer out!" .... like I was going to!

Unsurprisingly, I went SH (or SRT as it was called in them days.)
