Sorry my friend PCB was on the FRONT nozzles and would have destroyed the engine unless you kept moving forward quite fast when in ground effect or used a gridded platform. Using a gridded deck edge lift might just have been on for vertical ops but all the benefits of operating site flexibility would have gone right out of the window. I was SO glad when the P1154 was cancelled.
