It is very good to read a further instalment of Peter's memoirs.
Gliding and powered forced landings were in the 1941 EFTS syllabus at Fairoaks in 1941, (Section 17)
A very good description of the slow roll. I can still recite it by heart.
In my CFI test by S/Ldr Howard, I mouthed it silently, and I remember my sigh of relief as the CFI said, "Well done."
In later years, when flying as passenger in a Tiger Moth, I have always been told it was impossible to slow roll, and only the barrel roll was demonstrated. This happened also when flying as a passenger in Chipmunks of the ATC Experience Flights.
Best wishes to 'young' Peter. May he continue to be the oldest member of the commune.
