Wessex - double donk stop!!

At Tern Hill in the summer of '64 a Wessex turned up at Tern Hill (still new enough to cause a stir). The then CFI - a chap called B*&^%$£t - decided that the young fella flying said Wessex should take him for a trip and this was duly authorised.

On return, said CFI says to pilot something along the lines of: 'what happens if you lose both donks in the hover'? and without further ado, pulls back both speed select levers.

The pilot had a car to drive him back to Odiham.

O-D
