Bill these RAF pilots ex Vanguards and Comets who were such wonderful trainers...would they be the same ones whose genesis was a peacetime airforce that lost 200+ airframes in one year in the 60s..had some fleet loses (%) greater than the Starfighter and trained those that stalled a Comet,Vanguard and a Trident 1 with 100% loss of life?
Please answer a question for me - what was the point of knowing how many static wicks the Trident possessed or does your definition of training differ from mine?
Blind Pew does strain to the limit my resolution not to indulge in ad hominem.
However - my generation came onto the T3 around 1973 after about 15 years in the airline - most of that in the right hand seat.
So we too suffered under those that generated his massive chip.
Fortunately we were able to get over it - and believe it made us better trainers.
And - no - I never found the number of static wicks gave me any sleepless nights so his question, as usual, leaves me mystified.
