Forgive me - you are absolutely right. TTTE didn't open until Jan'81 - indeed I flew the BBC cameraman for the inaugural air-air shots, Jan 21st and Jan 22nd according to my logbook. My bounce recollections must have been when operating from Chivenor in the mid 80s. As to instructing TP's - I don't recall any such beast passing through the portals of TWU as TPs. We certainly did not teach anyone to look straight ahead at any stage of flight, never mind at LL
