Sam Rutherford thanks, yes, that's what I thought you'd say.
Another thing that's emerging for me is the huge disparity between my outbound and return flight on the occasion in question for a "service" which was essentially presented to me (as a third party passenger with arrangements made for me) as being
the same thing.
(N-reg vs G-reg, safety harness, "taxi service" vs "hitching a lift"... and that's without even knowing what the paperwork was (or wasn't).).
Which again is a (slight) similarity between my experience and that of the hapless Sala, it would seem.
