Pigboat. Very interesting. I can’t imagine what it would have been like with castors!

Sounds like you handled all touchdowns the same as I did.

Actually, these elderly aeroplanes do need a fair bit of stick and rudder skill, but that was the norm in those days and nobody thought much about it. Modern aeroplanes need fewer handling skills but a lot more thought and care to operate in today’s ATC and regulated environment.
