I was rapped over the knuckles for getting ahead of myself and reciting,"Undercarriage down and mixed," one day at Denham. The same instructor was somewhat bemused when he asked, " If the engine fails now where are you going to go?" and I replied, "In the water." We were just airborne easterly towards some gravel pits and i still, After 40 years can't think of a better answer. If I had suggested a turn back to the field it would have been more than my knuckles that got rapped.
