Gingers (occasionally) too
Slight thread drift, i.e. not family and certainly not friends, but the engineers did used to get trips "in the old days".
My one FJ trip was after spending ages coaxing a 74 Sqdn. (Lightnings era)pilot to really understand the full implications of Euler angles, from an avionics/mathematics/solid geometry point of view, rather than stick-monkeying (he was probably facing an exam or some such). A couple of months later I had an excellent trip up the East coast of Malaysia in the squadron T bird--buzzing the sub aqua club on Pulau Aur on the way.
Great stuff.
