So Tony, do the people-who-flew-the-gliders-around-before-powered-flight not qualify as PILOTS then? I understood a PILOT was the controller of an aircraft whether it was powered or not!

I think you'll find the flight lasted less than 2 minutes because the pilots realised they hadn't calfed the map, checked the NOTAMS, triple-checked the met and warned-out trhough ops and Air traffic. The aircraft had only 3 minutes and 1 landing till its first major and the F700 was full of lims. I believe the pilots fell out over who wanted to fly (no change there then) and the subsequent teddy-throwing upset the delicate weight and balance calculations (calculated by the load-master who wasn't allowed to join them because it was a J model).
