Back in the good old days, when BFT was done on Harvards, there was one instructor whose favourite trick was to unscrew his control column from its socket in the floor, poke the stood in the back of his comedy skid-lid and shout "You have control, Bloggs!" One enterprising young lad smuggled a spare stick into the front cockpit and, when the instructor whacked him on the bonce, he picked up the spare stick and passed it back to the instructor saying, "No, Sir, you have control!" Just to make things ineresting, he then gently put the ac into a spiral dive, snigering the meanwhile at the huge number of new and interesting expletives coming from the back cockpit.

(Yes, I know I have spelt snigering wrong, but you try it - all you get is s******ing. This software is cuddly, touchy-feely PC.)
