the george bush ( hw ) then took over my situation , and had obviously downloaded the f6 pilots notes from the www as they now knew that i couldnt blip my belly air brake and have my undercarriage down at the same time , oops , but i thought , if my belly airbrake can do that , what about my flaps , will they push me off course slightly as well ? , so for what seemed like an age they had me doing all sorts of combinations of flaps , air brake , undercarriage , altitude and speed , until i said in exasperation what if i slide my hood back and put my hand out ?
