Worked on them at Woodford in the mid 60's.Kneeling u/c was a good concept I thought-apart from the occasional bouts of arthritis!

Joined Alidair some time after the Liverpool event but a captain I was flying with

It taught me something!

Min. of two on flight deck.

If I had a pound or dollar for every mention of "knee-jerk" in this context I'd be much better-off.I truly believe that this reaction is not so.The argument has been most probably finely balanced and...

1-11
