ShortFatOne ... my EFTS was a bit later, when most of what we did had been worked out. Still the great instructors though - still remember a story from another stude on my course being told by Mad Mike Dutton 'wave at the tractor driver' before recovering from a PFL. Also remember the course 'challenge' when doing a solo post-spin aeros was to do the 'ops normal' radio call pulling as many 'g' as possible.

Went to Canada a couple of years ago, and went to the aviation museum in Trentham - WB550 (I flew it solo, twice) is there, in the original red and white.
