Likewise. I didn’t go for a ride in Richard Fairey’s 2 seater G-AIDN (?) many moons ago. The weather was low cloud and scattered drizzly so all that could have been done was a few low level orbits of the field. Not much chance of having a good feel.
Was to cost me 50£ …and I was on a very tight budget, about to depart the UK for Oz in an Auster.
(I lobbed into Darwin with $3 left)
I kicked myself later of course. And the butt bruise has lasted a lifetime.
Can be done these days of course, but in huge multiples of £50 !
