Not one of the most memorable types I had the privilege to fly, but at least it was very rewarding when you got it right!.
For shame, Brakedwell, to have had the privilege to fly the Hastie and then to be so dismissive of it. For shame Sir! Though I do agree with your latter point. Over the threshold, hanging onto the props and then calling "Cut" for a Tactical Landing. If she came down on all three points and stayed there, the triumph, the sense of achievement, only to be shattered by the Flt Eng claiming the credit as it was his closing of the throttles that had made all the difference! No such claim of course if instead of settling she went bouncing up into the air again!
