Abstract

“You’ll be navigator, Duncan, OK?” said Leslie Banks as he taxied the Cessna towards the main runway of Glasgow Airport (Fig. 9.1). That was just the last stage in the escalation of my responsibilities, and somewhat startling, since my experience of light aircraft to date was limited to one 5-min hop around Turnhouse Airport in an RAF Chipmunk trainer, when I was in the Air Training Corps at 13 years old.
