VFR,

"Cab", for some reason, is the nonclemature in the RN for an aircraft. I imagine, however, that a Crab would have no problems driving a bus

Cyclic,

The offshore oil runs, with about 6-8 pax "downstairs", was fraught with assumed trust, since we had no cabin crew. I got a severe b*llocking from Mayne-Bristow management for refusing to accept a passenger who was so drunk that he couldn't walk from the F28 night flight, to the Wessex. I know who would have been held liable if he'd got up for a leak and fallen out the door somewhere over the Timor, though

Speechless 2,

Talking of showing off to Wren joyriders, was it Leading Edge who asked to be advised when the test flight passed 6000 ft, and later was advised to remove and wash the aft flotation bag??
