Right then wings aside - (which are fine if its your bag) - whats the most rediculous get up you have ever seen someone flying in?
My winner was spotted at Kidlington and emerged from a Rallye wearing full flying suit with the white knee boards and assorted badges purchased from AFE catalogue, no less than three sets of wings, two cloth and one pin on metal, white gloves and a bone dome. Lengend! And big balls too to walk round dressed like that.
On my way to sunny Majorca! Not hours on end at FL170 just one leg. But the point being is it will get there no problem.
Hours on end in the airways, Menorca, Majorca, Prague, Annecy, Karlovy, Speyer to name but a few. A far cry from those early trips to Jersey and La Chassagne under the NSF wing. They seemed like such big hurdles in those days and would not have happened without NSF! I think that first Beyer trip gave me the bug!!!
