Maybe it was kindly Nature which blinded you to the showers of flying metal which whistled around you! All respect to the men like yourselves who flew through it unscathed, and the ones who were not so lucky.
Mind you, I think you're rather unkind to the Link which taught me a great deal. Fifty years ago two enthusiasts called Barney and Bill completely restored a WWII Link for our flying club and I spent many hours therein, the patient sighs of its pneumatic bellows matched by those of my long-suffering instructor as I wandered drunkenly around the "sky". It cost me 12s 6d per hour against the ADF-equipped Cherokee at £6 yes six pounds
and after its jerky response the real thing was easy. Well, less difficult.
Walter, we are eagerly waiting for your next instalment, please keep it rolling
