Milt, very interesting. When some Vulcan1 crews were converting to AAR prior to a deployment to Australia a couple of the pilots came down to Marham to have a go in the Valiant. Mick Meadows, the AARI, demonstated a prod or two in powered controls. He then handed over control to one of the Vulcan pilots, sneakily switching off the PFCU's, turning the handling into rock hard. The visitor fought the beast for a couple of minutes getting nowhere, believing Valiant pilots were supermen before Mick switched the PFCU's back on.
