Green Flash, yes, the weather guessers' beetle and fir cone farm at Ingham (or Cammeringham) was a well known landmark during my course at CFS.
Coming back in murky weather on my A2 ride, I saw it out of the corner of my eye, so knew exactly where I was and would only have had to say "I have control", count to five and turn down the A15 to call right base.... But to heck with that, it would have got us back quicker and given more time for me to cock something up. My 'Bloggs' continued to fly the IF exercise as instructed (he'd aleady been 'picked up' for flying eyes half in and half out when he should have been on the dials), so we wasted an extra 10 minutes or so on the 'radar to visual' approach I'd requested....
.
And yes, a first time A2 pass....
