Gentlemen, thank you. That illustration, Mad, is just as I remember it. Oddly enough the picture seems to show a swept-wing marque of the Leopard Moth, or one on which the wings have been folded for stowage.
In your heavy Tiger time, Henry, did you do any simulated IF? The Australian Pilot's Notes show a "blind flying hood", but of course that could be handled with the indoor, as it were, ASI. Not so easy if heavy canvas obstructs the view of the quadrant. And yet I remember pictures from long ago of exactly such hoods being used on UK Tigers in the War.
Any hints on how they did simulated IF? Of course if they did it with no view of airspeed at all, that probably just added extra poetry to "limited panel" and "If you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined".
