My first primary instructor (Phil L****n) on 3 Sqn at Linton on Ouse in 1985 goes down as "infamous".
Infamous because in the 20+ hours we flew together at the start of the course I was given little instruction and even less briefing/debriefing and thus learned next to nothing at the most critical phase of the course.
The most NFI individual I ever met in the RAF.
My bacon was saved by Don Dibbens (another ex-Vulcan guy - weren't they all at that time?) who kicked my backside and sweated me hard to make up the lost ground. Don could motivated without humiliating and pushed for the highest standards at all times. Without him I would never have passed BFT.
