On my 4FTS course a couple of our number were too tall for the Gnat, so did their flying on the Hunter instead. Also on the Hunter course were Hamid, an Arab prince who drove a pink V12 E-type and another Arab student (Jordanian?), Sammy. who had an excellent sense of humour and was nothing like the other.

One day he and his QFI climbed in and out of 2 T7s, both of which went U/S on start. Then they tried a third, but by then the weather had clamped.... "Well, Sammy, it looks like Big G has got it in for us today", said his QFI as they walked back to the Ops desk. "Ah no sir" said Sammy, "More like Big A!".
