Not much to do with spin recovery, so apologies for the thread creep...; at least Clarkson had the guts to go for the spins in the Hunter, also a flight in an F-15 where he made no bones about it, he was sick !

I found out the hard way that air-sickness, in that way similar to sea-sickness, simply requires time in turbulent air / swift manouvering to build up a level of tolerance.

In the 1980's Dunsfold offered a ride in our 2-seat demonstrator Harrier G-VTOL ( traditionaly John Farley's mount, now at Brooklands Museum ) as a prize for ' Children in Need ' but the BBC refused, saying it was too dangerous !

A lot of people, me included, would have chewed an arm off to get a flight...
