The Corsairs were usually happy to do three-point landings as they were a delight to fly, just that nasty stall to watch-out for....the landing approach by curving around and down was used since the first 'long-nosed breeds', Hurri's n' Spit's, came onto the scene...simply the easiest way to land, as it gave one visual right-up until you were lined-up to touch-down...just like they 'snake' left to right up to the flight-line to take-off, so they get to see what's in front...Corsairs had quite a short take-off for their size, and if they 'bounced' on landing, you weren't doing it right;- they had a tendency to nose-over, hence the emphasis on buzz break three-point landings, where the tail wheel was locked in place to give directional stability...Apart from this , Corsairs were pretty 'viceless' aircraft...
