And not just QFIs! To redress the balance, I can remember verbatim the entire debrief of one of my sorties on the Whirlwind at Valley - chasing drums around Holyhead harbour whilst in manual throttle.

I admit it wasn't very good at all and (fortunately!) helped guarantee that my future career was on SH!

After the silent walk in from the aircraft (never a good sign), QHI takes me into small debriefing cubicle - about the size of a Photo-booth. He: tall and thin. Me: well, neither.

QHI: "Well - it wasn't bad enough to chop you! ....... (dramatic pause) ...... it wasn't even quite bad enough to re-fly the trip ........... (further dramatic pause) .........but it was fin' awful!"

End of debrief - he then carried on to brief and authorise the solo trip (no manual throttle on solos!)
