Not trying to diss E WB in any way as he was a pioneer/ hero. In RN Aviation. But try this Quote. EWB was tasked to do DLPs on a carrier flying the swept wing variant of a hawker Seahawk P1052. He remarked that the average RN pilot would not be able to land a swept wing aircraft , on carriers. This held back RN aviation for some years...Was my Commander at Lossie many moons ago. He flew , all the aircraft we had on the station flight at times !!! Sea Prince ,Tiger Moth,Sea Vampire, Sea Venom, and the visiting Heron
