Do you have a particularly memorable flight?

[Krystal n chips]

I've had a few memorable working flights, but, the most memorable was my first ever flight.

" in my younger days" frequented MAN.observing the flying. One day, got a very unexpected offer of a flight to / from Farnborough. As I'd never flown before, a dream come true you might think...alas. I recall it was a nice sunny day with lots of pretty fluffy clouds which I now know to be a perfect gliding day.... with thermals.

The aircraft was a Tri-Pacer..."compact in the back seat "...and it was just after Congleton my breakfast, helped by nerves / excitement and...thermals decided to recycle itself. After several deposits in the bag, the pilot, wisely, decided to divert to Sleap where I think the aircraft was based as his car was there. We returned to MAN by road.

This experience did concern me next time I flew, in a Chipmunk, but, no repeat performance and, having subsequently flown in a variety of types, including back seat FJ's, I've never been airsick since.
