I've always considered Ward's Sidewinder shot a little odd as there should have been a 9L growling away shouldn't there? I understand the thinking of getting your bomb pylon live and then having a winder up just in case, but from there on the excuse matrix is bare.
I believe I am right in saying that Leeming didn't know you had to select the missile master panel (low behind the stick) on to fire the 9L. I think he was new to the aeroplane.
Morgan's book also tells of Gordie Batt having a loft brief prior to launch at night IIRC.
(Respect and RIP to both of the above)
When did the camera on/off move from pickle button to the nose wheel steering paddle switch? Anyone know?
