Well ... as so many of us experienced the thrills of the Kirby Cadet Mk3 in our youth ... I thought it quite wrong not to share with the non-cognoscente the delights of the cockpit



So, like the Typhoon, full Air Conditioning in both the Front and Rear cockpits. An adequacy of instrumentation ... including the boot lace tied to the pitot tube. A rubber grip off a lawnmower for extra grip on the stick. Helpful colour coding also featured ... Yellow Cable Release toggle and Red Spoiler lever ...

Not forgetting the good old CBSITCB Check List placard ... along with the W&B Chart on the cockpit wall (remember the weights that could be attached to the base of the tail fin and secured with an ejection seat type pin).
