I'll never forget the guy who turned up, no PPR and non - radio, 30 seconds into the Red's display which opened the air show which I was working at, at that time. The Red's had to stop the display while he joined overhead and landed, completely oblivious to the chaos he was causing.
When questioned later, he said he didn't have time to telephone for PPR before setting off, cos' if he had done so, he would have landed later than he originally did....
Purely out of interest, do the 'Maitland Mafia' still run the Biggin extravagasa?
