Record onlies include loss of a cowling on a 355F2 in flight because of distraction during the preflight, a Rotorway Exec feeling uncomfortable about a fuel divert to Duxford because of a busy air show and finally running out a couple of miles short of the next alternative, and fixed-wing G-SNOG only because I’d love to make radio calls with that reg.
