I, too, spent many happy hours instructing in the Sim with Andy A-Z.
There had been a report of an aircraft (I can't remember which type) where the Captain's seat had unlocked at 'Rotate' causing the seat to shoot back.
Andy would reach forward, unlock the Capts seat at the critical moment, and shout at the co-pilot to do 'zumzing'.
On another occasion (again at 'rotate') he grabbed the Capt round the neck and shouted 'Ermegency! Ermegency! Capt has heart attack - co-pilot, take control'.
Unfortunately, the co took a bit of time to get things together, by which time the Capt was going red in the face and desperately trying to loosen Andy's grip.
A really interesting story was how Andy escaped from Poland as the Germans advanced. A bunch of us were lucky enough to be in a pub one night when he told the story.
I believe he wrote a book of his life and it is all in there.
