The RAF and RAAF had an exchange crews policy back in the 1950's. We (RAAF) would send a Lincoln crew (pilot, Navigator and Signaller) to UK where they were posted to fly RAF maritime Avro Shackletons. In turn, the RAF would send a Shackleton crew to Australia for a two year stint on maritime Lincolns. We in the RAAF learned much from the RAF on anti-submarine tactics. As the squadron QFI on Lincolns I was tasked to convert the RAF Shackleton captain on to the Lincoln.
The RAAF traditionally used the kick straight technique for crosswind landings. That is, just before touch down rudder was used to straighten up during the flare and ideally the aircraft would touch down with any drift removed. All fine in theory of course but in practice the aircraft would often touch down with some drift remaining causing much squealing from tortured main wheels. Cross wind landings at night were a real problem with our Mk 31 Long Nose Lincolns.because of the poor forward visibility over the long nose.
On my first dual flight with the RAF Shackleton pilot I demonstrated a crosswind landing. It wasn't the best of landings and I apologised for the stuff-up. The RAF pilot then did his crosswind landing, touching down smoothly on one wheel then lowering the other wheel to the ground. He said the RAF preferred the 'wing down' crosswind landing technique as more reliable than the kick straight technique used by the RAAF. He was absolutely right of course and I never used the kick straight technique again. Of course with jet transports and their podded engines one needs to be careful to avoid a pod scrape.
