Can't say I blame the man; I'd love to have a go in one, even a 2-seater. As well as that, it's not a bad idea that the Head Honcho has first-hand experience of some of the new kit. I understand that he will also be checked out on the RAF's newest fire engine, followed by a quick course on the Mk XV lawnmower and ending the year with a conversion to the latest model toaster.
