Remember doing mutual IF with Taff once in the mighty Wessex.

He was blind as well as deaf at this stage of his flying career (!), and was using a Sherlock-style magnifying glas to tune the "coffee grinder" ADF in the overhead panel.....

..... mind you, the deafness helped in a Ground Cat

Taff: What's the max single engine contingency limits boy....

Flying Officer Teeters: mumble mumble mumble

Taff: Wassat boy? Did you say 2700, 710, 26750?

Teeters: Yes Taff

Taff: Well done Boy!
