Going back a bit, when the Navy had Sea Vixens, my captain on Valiants was the Tiny Mathews(I do not remember how many t's) of subsequent Vulcan at Tehran fame. Having refuelled a Vixen he was offered a prod on the pod on his wing. The noise combined with the airflow effect on the Valiants wing of the jet wash was terrifying, we had full aileron trim on and still the aircraft lurched about like a bucking bronco. I have made or watched well over 1000 contacts but that was the worst
