BP , thx for the book ref .
Mr Wu came to the mainline T1/2 fleet not the NE T1Es , as she was more similar to our T2s.
I think we could use A/Thrott on manual apps . But memory fade , 'tho somewhere is a reminder that it was a bit more unstable with A/Thrott in .. But not as bad as man flying with A/thrott in on a Boeing .
One landing I do remember , she would not settle onto 28R at LHR , wrestling hard until the skipper gently asked .....
''Young man , do you want power off ? ''
Me , rapidly , and embarrassed .. '' Power off please Sir ''.
I must have been daydreaming as usual .
