Blindpew , memory come back . Ross Pleasance the very nice senior skipper with QAVSA .
Non handling pilot dir the throttles ...because handler could not vreach them comfortably ...!
When we went on Mr Wu ..G-ASWU T1e [ rescued from Cyprus ] she had cranked over throtts , much easier to reach and operate when flying .
Thus non std. and un-approved on Mr WU we did our own power , if skipper was in agreement . Stood us in good stead when Trident died , and we moved onto self handling throttle fleets .
