Ok then.
I didn't mean to suggest you were thick. It's just that I grow tired of trying to explain dynamics on a thread such as this - it's easier in a classroom.
Yes - I was indeed an instructor, both as an RAF QFI and as a civilian. I am now retired.
So to the diagram.
The black arrow shows sideslip in a turn. Very little is required, but it is necessary for any dynamic stability attributes to work.
Therefore there will be a component of the relative airflow as shown by the blue arrows (very much exaggerated).
The yellow "wedges" show angle of attack, which is the angle between the relative airflow and the wing chordline. Because of dihedral the AoA of the lower wing is slightly higher than that of the upper.
Therefore if you look closely the two yellow angles are different.
Hope that helps.
edit: I have just noted that you hold a CPL.
