Not at 140 Kts at 50 to 100 feet in South Armagh whilst looking out for wires and other obstructions, following nav instructions from the non handling chap, whilst working out landing configuration, monitoring aircraft systems etc etc, no Bast0n I haven't.

But because I am not the sharpest tool in the box, the relevance of your last post is what?
Ah well - I agree not at 140 kts. But at 70kts, and with a manual throttle and only a crewman in the back and no stabalisation etc etc. My point being that doing all this we still had to hold our own map, use the radios and eat our butties and so on. So yes ,you can do more than just fly the aircraft. If you cannot you should not be there. That was my point - not that I think bacon butties have a huge relevance to this post anymore than Whirlwind 7s! Carry on now!
