My day included the Comet crash window problems, and ADF, VOR, backbeam ILS and other interesting approaches which were often the order of the day, all hand flown without the luxury of GPS and automation to touchdown that your generation enjoys.on
It's worth remembering that physiologically the pilots of today are the same as the chaps who flew Lancasters. Given the same environment they would produce similar results. They have been raised in a different environment, one created in no small part by the chaps who flew the Lancasters and their offspring. Getting p1ssy at a generation below you is akin to admitting your generation dropped the ball .
