I remember from the right seat:

Friggin carby heat control I could never get right.

Landing gear hydraulics that sounded like bagpipes.

Waste paper disposal unit... open window and allow slipstream to remove papers.

Raincoat over the lap when flying in rain as the old suckers leaked like a sieve.

No pressurisation. Start descent early if you want eardrums intact.

Spark plug changes after descent if you closed throttles completely,as the whole lot oiled up. Pissed the engineers off.

Geez jets are so much easier to fly.
