Chugalug,
Thanks for the steer to the link to "Tante Ju", as it was affectionately known to the many thousands of German troops, to whom it was as familiar as the "Dak" was to us. But what caught my eye was this:
...The makers of this film also managed to capture a former test pilot, now at the grand age of 103. "This makes my day" is how the 103-year-old Berliner puts sitting in the cockpit while, as ever, not being able to leave the controls alone...
So there's hope for us yet ! And the size of the control wheels reminds us of the physical strengh needed to fly things like that (no power assistance) in those days.
Danny.
