I was recently reading in some American flying magazine about a guy who was training to be a USAF pilot, he'd come quite a long way through the training but hadn't flown a 'GA type' for a long time. A friend of his asked if he could go flying with his 17 year old son who'd just got his licence in a C172. The son offered him the landing at the end and the guy nearly crashed! On top of that he then scraped the wing on the hangar as he was taxiing in.
Fg Off Max Stout you're probably right about my CCF commander, he was a bit like that. However I wasn't going to take his advice anyway...
