'Watch him spin, watch him burn, he took off bank in a low speed turn' An Americanism. Demonstrated to me in a Sedburgh in my ATC days. Was asked to demonstrate a spin. Very lazy affair. Went up again, tried to pick up the downgoing wing just before the stall with full opposite aileron. What a huge surprise!!. Never ever forgot that!! Downgoing wing accelerated massively into a spin. ... Be good if all power pilots flew gliders first???........
