Well, the Vampire had the flap lever and the undercarriage lever on the same spindle almost out of sight and down to the left side of the left seat when properly strapped in. An ergonomic nightmare and fraught with possible disaster. I almost pulled the wheels up after landing at Valley one day by mistake but fortunately, my instructor was hanging on to his gear lever like grim death!
