I remember doing the TALO workup on 47, we used Keevil after practising with the Blues and Royals at Lyneham.
I said to their RSM, since you've had a go in our Hercules, can I have a go in your tank, so next morning on the bottom of the Calne Strip, he let me drive their Spartan (like a Scimitar without a turret) up and down for half an hour (about the same time they had in our aircraft. God that was fun.
I loved doing TALO, 10 minutes flying, Lumpy Box and go home early (or previous day off).
