Tanks for the memory

Or the touch and go "wheels up" that Pedro Condon did at Amberley in a Fantoom.

The drop tanks did a sterling job and we were all very impressed by the sparks. The rear-seater said something rather famous during the touch and go after the burners cut out - but I now forget exactly what that was. It was something to do with "better make the next one a full-stop then" and "but if you want to, we could slip out over the oatswain, jettison the drop-tanks, come back, pretend we never had any and nobody will ever be any the wiser. Whaddya reckon Pedro?"

The Pedro response was reportedly words to the effect: "Shuddup Shorty. Yer only back there to read the bluddy checklist and ya can't even get that right. Bluddy navigators". "Check how much gas is left in those droppers."

"There isn't any."

"Right. I wonder why?"
