I can testify to the utter delight of getting it 'right' in the Big Beautiful Beast = an immensly delightful and rewarding 'bus' to drive (really told you where you had screwed it up though). Flew all the AD varients the RAF had and loved em all.
Especially the J.
Some of the American flying kit was great - mainly the helmet that fitted, didn't weigh a ton and was painted in a colour scheme a/r by the owner. USAF flying suits and the 'illegaly black fin' modification were also excellent for pi##ing-off senior officers and mates with a sense-of-humour-deficit . The starter issue was good for long landaway excuses to nice places. Never was too keen on the origional life preserver and joke-dingy though!
The Helpful Stacker - Me too bruv.
