I produced two lots of evidence, one an original document from the NA which is clear on the issue and the solution, the other points you to the C Shores books on the 2 TAF. Both these support my statement and its only fair to ask you to supply evidence to support yours.

You may or may not know what is taught at the establishments you named, but you would not know what they use in their lectures unless you had done the course so your list must have been made up.

I can tell you that Cranfield is the premier University for Aerospace in the UK its very advanced with their own test fleet of aircraft. We had visiting lecturers from Cranfield come to HMS Daedalus for some of our studies which included Hovercraft
