I am surprised at that as I found both assessors to be absolute gentlemen; It was a very pleasant atmosphere.
My mistake was to sit in the right hand seat (because that is where I have been sitting for the last couple of years). It didn't feel right to command from there somehow, and I also found it very difficult to make myself heard, so I don't think I demonstrated the 'right stuff'; (plus I made a complete hash of it!). I might ask to use headsets if I ever try again.
