Basic jet training on the JP at Linton in the early 70s - circuits were flown left hand, except for Wednesdays, when they were right hand. QFI gives me an engine failure in Linton overhead and I launch straight into the forced landing pattern, spouting all the good stuff from the checklist; half-way through the pattern, as we leave High Key for Low Key, I can feel the silent QFI writing something on my right kneepad - I'm sweating cobs trying to get the pattern right and fit the drills in, but manage to glance quickly at my kneepad - it says one word: Wednesday. I reverse quickly into a right hand pattern while the previously silent QFI giggles to himself........
