Good God - what have I started? Seems like I have ruffled a few feathers in the PPRUNE retirement home. I feel as if I have entered the TV lounge and switched channels from Songs of Praise to Top of the Pops. All that can be heard are the rantings of 'Gnat', 'Hunter', '.. queen of the skies' and 'nurse, I think I need changing now'. As I wait (with armour plated firewall) for the obvious backlash from the PPRUNE old faithful, I ask just one question - Is it true that all the limiting speed / rules of thumb that we use for Hawk (recently introduced advanced trainer at Valley) are the same as the Hunter merely because the 'old guard' couldn't be bothered to learn a new set of numbers?
I sign off with the utmost respect for my elders and betters.
(+ bad luck to the unfortunate who started this thread only to have it hijacked by bored ex QFIs).
