I vividly recall misshandling a dual Bulldog spin above Telford power station. I relaxed the back pressure during the entry (or so I was rather pointedly informed in subsequent de-brief!) and it went high rotational. Not a big deal from a very conservative 8,500ft but it stays with me to this day.

One of the best days of my flying career remains being checked out for solo spin/aeros on the Bulldog. It really was very nice for aeros - even when latterly compared to the higher performace composite types out there.

However, I did have the benefit of mastering (just!) the Bulldog with many many hours of RAF QFI time beside me...

One wonders.
