Flying Cross country with Jacko on mk3 from bovingdon to Halton

613 must have loaned a mk3 to bovingdon ( or elsewhere) and we had to go pick it up.
not sure how we got there but Jacko was in the back and me in the front behind a tiger moth (or equivalent)
Released closer to Halton and always remember Jacko tell me to slow the speed down was probably still doing
60+ knots, but with Jacko's extra weight we were sinking pretty fast. Made it down ok, not sure why he picked me but perhaps he just asked for volunteer's. That is still burnt into my brain deep down
Will have to find it in my log book
