More Meatbox asymmetric comment.
With the Mods permission for thread drift:
My goodness you chaps have caused some turbulence in the old pad. Mrs FC is not amused! Last evening after the traditional glass or two of "attitude adjustment" and shooting at the wrist watch with the right hand, my thoughts drifted back to Meatbox handling. To reinforce my recollection I ventured into the gloom of the loft seeking old scraps of service memorabilia and discovered a long forgotten set of Pilots Notes for the Meteor F8&9.
The section on asymmetric handling is brief. It states "maintain a speed of 140kts until the decision to land has been made (145kts on large intake aircraft-deep breathers to those in the know). Aim for a threshold speed of 105-110 kts and a final approach speed 15 kts higher. An overshoot at decision height with the port engine operating will involve a decent until a safety speed of 145kts is attained and full power can be safely applied for the climb". The U/C and 1/3 Flap should be left in place throughout.
Thank God the Hunter only had one engine...
