Belly Tank,
Frost flying is fun, especially the drinking at 0700 after a long night.
Waiting up to see what the temperature will drop to is the only pain in the bum. The golf is great as well. Loosing all those balls cost a fortune. Did do a night on a tobacco farm once, dark and bloody cold. In an unheated R22 as well. Dressed in about five layers of clothes, (could hardly fit in the cabin, doubt I would have been hurt in the event of a crash, I was wearing enough to act as an air bag ) doors off because of the condensation inside the windscreen, flying sideways all the time. Did it twice, the first and last time. Only in something with a heater and music to listen to if the other guys stop telling jokes...................
