One of my favourite Whirlwind tales, from Harrier pre-course training, was about a colleague who was about to demo a LL EOL at Tern Hill. As they go downwind, stalwarrt QHI briefs Bloggs. 'OK Bloggs. As we run in towards the airfield I'll say 'Put your hand on the Speed Select. And when I'm ready to start, I'll say NOW. Then you retard the Speed Select fully. Any questions?' 'No, ***.
So as they run in, *** says 'Put your hand on the speed select now.....'
Fortunately they just scraped over the hedge into The Triangle. The A41 was not so busy those days!
