Flyingkiwi 73, On reading this I immediately suspected that your instructor was a certain "A" cat who used to be CFI for the Otago Aero Club, but now manages a commercial flight school, as that is exactly what he likes to do. I.E. throw the aircraft around while you cannot see a horizon until you reach your own limit of nuasea

Nope different guy, my old CFI now flies a lovely Stearman on commercial flights at Omaka, lucky bugger.
I remember they made me close my eyes, did a wing drop stall (in a tommie these can be a little interesting) left it, and said "....now recover". i had no idea if i was upside down or what!
Kept my lunch tho!!!
