Your remarks about the 1-11 and the UKCAA are both wrong in fact and a bit unfortunate in tone.
The UKCAA has become notorious for requiring "safety" modifications over and above those required by the original certifying authority. Apart from the stick pusher requirement on virtually anything that has a control column there are plenty of other examples.
A legend has built up around them and that tale has twisted in the telling over the years, so yes, I was out of line regarding the BAC1-11 and I've edited my post accordingly.
I won't apologise for having a go at the CAA though, they're a fair target. We've had quite a bit of nonsense from them over the years, so I always have a dig at our Regional Manager whenever I get the chance and I always will. It helps to keep them straight.
