Hunter 1 in 1
Like MPN11 it is a fair few years since I controlled a Hunter 1in1, and, like him, my recollection is that the gear call came from ATC. The only slight issue with the procedure was that it was based on a flamed out engine which was windmilling. At Honington we had several T-bird hunters for instrument training/renewals for the Buccaneer. On one occasion the engine had seized and the rate of descent with the gear up was pretty close to 1in1 and the pilot (JM as I recall) left the gear until very short final. Having flown a couple of sorties in the Hunter in which I was allowed to try it in "manual" including a training 1in1, I recall that it was blooming hard work, which made JM's feat even more impressive.
