Will the officious fire officer who is able to see pilots who are not wearing hi viz from 100 yards away but who still welcomes you with a rollocking for not doing so be in attendance?

[Mondo]

He has been on a course "How to win friends and influence people who don't wear Hi Viz" and has returned an absolute gentleman so come in confidence that you will be welcome...... Oh and don't sit on any benches that look like they have just been been painted. Ask for the CFI and I will buy you a drink of your choice or maybe you would prefer a bottle of wine to take away with you! Your choice. Regards Ray Price. CFI.

Thanks Ray. You have obviously been aware of my experiences! I am sure I will be going (in my lowest profile clothing) ;)
