That Condor

What a pity there aren't clubs who still use Condors for training, as in the 60's and 70's. A classic British trainer (but designed by a Frenchman )
I did all my PPL on Condors. When I was shown my first spin, it was entered a bit quickly, whereupon the long-suffering Condor did a half-flick to inverted and then spun with determination.. Hardly the aircraft's fault though ! We were reminded that all aircraft have sharp teeth and if you failed to heed this, don't be surprised.
Or as it said on the panel, "All aircraft bite fools"
