Freg, indeed. Without a tac display, and hurtling around a mad trap at night would stretch any pilot captain.
On an aluminium pursuit ship it may well have a captain and a GIB, but even BEagle must admit that opcon in a Vulcan would swop from front to back throughout the sortie. The only crew member that only had an advisory roll was the copilot.
I know BEagle could argue that the captain could ignore the 'advice' but so to do would jeopardise the mission. As an aside, I once ordered an Air Cmdr, later CDS, who complied with my instruction and post-flight debriefed my captain that I had given the order prematurely.
