Late August 2002, VFR nav flight in an Arrow from Lanseria to Gaborone. The (female) approach ATCO vectored us towards the VOR, which sent us over high ground to the South of the airport in rain. I'm not happy with ground clearance and my mate in the RH seat (handling R/T) asks to confirm altitude.
The ATCO comes back with the same clearance and adds "are you in contact with the ground?" Quick as a flash, my mate answers in his Scouse accent "negative, but at this altitude we will be soon!"
I was still laughing during taxy...
