It was interesting to see that even pilots with "3000 hours on fast jets" found them hard to fly!

Not really surprising after 3000hrs of using footrests instead of rudder pedals!

Great programme though. Had a morning with "the flight" a couple of years ago after the TypHoon we were supposed to be fighting went "tech". Had the immense privilige of being invited into the Bomber as she was towed into the hangar after some engine runs, I can remember standing up out of the amidships escape hatch looking along those wonderful wings....and grinning like an idiot!! And as for the crewmen, well, we had to crowbar them away from the Brownings!
