Just curious here, I am essentially a VFR single engine pilot. Any sudden yaw to the left ( normally fly US machines ) has my left hand about to punch the lever down. This has become muscle memory and in grained over 7000 hours of flying. When doing my first twin rating found it very hard not to put the lever down when having one donk put back to idle even though my brain knew there was another keeping us flying ( well just in an F2 355 !!)
Now the pilot in Glasgow flew twin engines for almost all his career so was it the reverse of my case that happened, i.e. one donk goes pull the lever up second goes natural reaction pull the lever up. Hence the Nr almost nil ???

Might go and find my bone dome and hide in a trench from the incoming
