Nozzle control

Hello John & all,

Just for info', I expect you probably tried it John, but in the late 80's I photographed a 'future projects' cockpit ( maybe with JSF or P1216 in mind, probably just an experiment ) which had the nozzles controlled by twisting the throttle.

With a significant nozzle angle display on the HUD !

I thought it looked as if one might easily inadvertently twist the lever when moving it fore & aft, though the technician ' flying ' it seemed to get on ok.

As history shows, it seems to have been surpassed anyway.
