If they can get a three ship together with the right spacing, they will be doing better than 31 Sqn last week

As a former 'No 2' I recommend NOT letting the back-seater fly the formation slot

We used to give any nav going to sandy parts some stick time, in case the native driver decided to do their 'letting go of the stick and reciting "Insh'allah" continuously' trick, as some were wont to do in moments of crisis. I believe the F3 navs always flew in twin stick aircraft out there for this reason. I certainly didn't let them attempt formation....

Wasn't this squadron the first in the RAF to have a "girly" Commander?
