If I remember rightly, wasn't there 2 coloured lights; one needing a push forward and the other a pull back of the lever? Hitting the lever in good time was a piece of p**s but it was getting the right direction that was a bugger.
I also remember those pictures of a JP in various attitudes and having to choose which blind flying panel picture best matched it.
When I went to the Hill in '66 for Test in Advance, there was no "fruit machine" test. When I went back in '68 with my A Levels, some evil sod had introduced it.
Edited to correct TiA year being the same as the "live" test (fail) date. Thank Heavens they never tested my typing skills.
