I've just had a 40-year flashback of that typically British cockpit aroma when sliding back its canopy on a hot summer's day. Almost enough to get drunk on
Ahh, you have me reminiscing now...
I had a look around a Shack at Newark Air Museum recently and as soon as I stepped on board the pong hit me and took me back forty years too! An aroma once experienced never forgotten.
I knew a Javelin nav and I'm sure I remember him telling me that the airbrakes were a thing of wonder and you could descend more or less vertically at idle/idle with full brake.
