I hitched a ride on a 207Sqn Devon down from Lossie to Turnhouse. It had just dropped off the AOC and was returning empty, I was working the line at VASS and just mentioned in passing that I was heading off on leave that evening, the crew said "hop aboard". I settled in and had one of the most memorable flights ever as we headed south using the low level route. For an admiral's barge the aircraft was spritely with lovely smooth movements. An altogether unforgettable ride as I sat on the AOC's throne and watched the cairngorms slide by at wing tip level.
