Is there anyone there ?
Oh we're here all right, regle, and hanging onto every word from you and cliffnemo! The post re the Bomber Command Instructor School is surely something at last that we can all relate to from personal experience. The techniques and demonstrations that were such eye openers to your pupils (sorry scratch that!
) are what all sim checks and refreshers should be about, a learning experience! Such knowledge as is passed on can just as easily disappear later. I remember an interview with the BBMF boss who recounted the challenge they found it to be 3 pointing the Lanc in a strong X-wind, and mentioning this to someone of your background. "But you don't even try to put it down on all three in those conditions, wheel her on and only let the tail go down later, before you've lost effective rudder control", was the experienced reply! Much the same as I was taught on the Hastings. Please keep it coming, gentlemen. You are filling in a lot of blanks in our knowledge of "how it was done" then. Thank you both.
