Mooncrest : You keep taking me back to flying the NE Viscounts outa LBA in 1972-4 !
I don't recall any performance issues'
Only issues were that Skippers tended to hog the pole. The 5=sector day, LBA-LHR-LBA in the morning followed by afternoon LBA-GCI-JER-LBA was greeted with hope as, surely, one might get offered one leg out of five- ?
Luvley sunny day, no wind, cavok everywhere and I was rostered with the CP and, of course, a full blown TRE/IRE. Off we went to LHR and I thought, at the start of each sector, this one is surely mine (?). Nah. Not a sniff. rotters.
As a result, in my P1 days to follow, I ensured "leg for leg" and on a three leg day, P2 would get two. One leg-? Didn't even flip a coing; P2 got it.
Formative days.
