Cool

Much more interesting with a stopped prop !
Had a flat battery so required a swing start.
Spinning exercise with the club owners son.
Standard spin entry and then the prop stopped followed by a very flat spin. Only synchronised pilot rocking gave any stick control back. Relief when the prop started to turn from a sporting dive.
Great training A/C from the 70's.
Only crititism - they was painted yellow by order of Norman Jones who leased them to Clubs and the throttle became lubricated with petrol !
Saw GN lined up behind me at Shennington a couple of years ago.
