WIDN62,
Oh dear no, I hope you don't think I accused anyone of ignoring me, or anyone else on this thread. There's a lot of input, and some gets missed, it's never a problem. I agree that there was a huge degree of difference in flying Albert and flying a glider. I will never forget watching pilots putting in huge handfuls of aileron, and then immediately opposing it on the approach. Such a control input on a glider would have put it on its back, Albert barely twitched. Thanks for your post, it confirms that flying Albert was a real handful of aircraft.
