For those throwing their hands up in shock horror, may I suggest you read this article about ACM Gus Walker RAF. He used to fly a Meteor 8 with just one good arm.

Pocklington History - Gus Walker

Air Commodore at the age of 30 and continued to fly having an artificial arm with leather loops which he wrapped around the control column. During his 36-year RAF career he rose be Air Chief Marshall and ultimately became a deputy Commander-in-chief of Nato.
