Oh yes the Pole Hill recovery with the pressurisation on the dump valve could make or break an Eng stude! We did ours into Waddo as Applied Flt had bolt holed there in early 89 whilst Finningley’s runway was resurfaced.
I used to love the final approach past Lincoln Cathedral at night because by that stage the beasting from your instructor was over. Little did I know that eventually I would be a Flt Eng on E3D’s, the sight always filled me with a warm feeling even on four hour P sorties!!
Ahh nostalgia!!
