Gnat PFLs

Thanks for that input Beagle. Despite many hours instructing some of the finer points elude me. I remember that great character, Dennis Hazell, briefing me on my arrival as a very raw B2, that so far as he was concerned, if he got an engine failure, the RAF had just lost a Gnat! He then added that if it was gin clear and he happened to be in the overhead at 10K ft he might give a PFL a try! I remember somebody ploughing into the dunes on the 02 approach when he ran out of standby trim and elevator during a manul PFL. I recall who it was but won't name names as I wouldn't want to upset family or colleagues.
