Pilot Dar

There used to be an old joke about a wartime instructor who taught on and old bi plane.
His trademark before sending a pilot solo was to remove the rear stick and on final throw it out telling his student to follow everything he had been shown and land the plane.
One student knowing about this smuggled a spare stick into the aircraft.
The instructor did the same routine throwing out his control stick with the usual comment of following everything he had been shown.
"OK Sir said the student and threw the spare stick he had concealed out of the aircraft.
I believe the instructor bailed out leaving an amused student who landed
