Indeed indeed. Given that the RAF is an AIR FORCE, and most airforce aeroplanes (not trash-hauling types) have the stick between the legs and throttles on the left, it is entirely reasonable that their trainers would have two sets. Just like the Ginwheel, eh Leddie?
I've always thought 1.3Vs in a Cesspit is too fast... Stick to stay on slope, and throttle to just keep the wailing cat at bay...
