Good post - it'll run for ever; Pitchfork's new book 'The Buccaneers' will help. I only had 4 years on the beast, but with Navs such as MacKC, C-S, Leckers, Friz and Sparcky (god bless), the switchery and their meaning were always a little meaningless. They all survived my front seat antics, and I their whinging ------ but what a mad, and often illegal ball we had. Switches didn't seem to matter at zilch feet and .5K knots - the beast was safe and brought you home (JB). Bucc Mk5 would've been great given today's avionics -------------

With all that recall, you just have to be an A1 QFI trapper - or it must've been I that checked you out with a kick- the- fires brief, and you sussed it all out at once. Most of my memories of the jet are : nurse it with flap, nibble-nibble, full poke to do it, 500 plus at a stroke, and all when she asked. She could even do it without an engine - in the same unforgiving manner (ask Gos and self).
Ah well, back to the bar -----------
