Please if you don't have any first hand knowledge, and you don't know what you're talking about, refrain from posting.

Bongo was perhaps being literal and if we would decide to be, then he is right: that is technically a pitch angle indicator and not an artificial horizon.
I suspect the reason he is being technically accurate has to do with the fact that he is a pilot and they tend to keep their terminology specific, so that they know what is going on in times of emergency. I think he has even flown real Tiger Moths so he's got more first hand knowledge than anyone of us around here
