low friction

It was only applied to the touchdown area and was low friction only relative to the normal runway surface, with the weight of Albert there was no problem with traction at low speeds but with the lightweight Gnat I suppose it must have been similar to aquaplaning. I do remember seeing a photo of one of the aircraft with the landing light in a rather modified condition.
