Back in 1984 I was on an ATC camp at Binbrook.My AEF was flown by an 11 Sqn pilot-quite an experience for a jet obsessed 14 year old.He admonished me for staring at the artificial horizon instead of looking outside.Apparently I'd 'get away with it at Woodvale but round here you're likely to get a Lightning up your arse'.Best flight I ever had-the poor Chippy was hurled all around the sky.
As a Flight Staff Cadet on 12AEF in the late 70s I flew a number of times in the Chipmunk with Wg Cdr Colin Bidie, a former Boss of 56 Squadron. On one flight I recall we tried to emulate the display he used to do in the Lightning, didn't quite have the vertical penetration though.
Great people, happy days.
