In those far off days when there were only 'slow jets' and 'even slower jets' I took my son for a ride in a Vamp T11. It was at Shawbury and we were supposed to be bashing the GCA circuit for the U/T controllers, but I imagine we sloped off to do the odd aero as well. He was in the ATC at school at the time, so it was legal, but I made him get his hair cut as payment; not sure he has ever forgiven me! Also the odd Chippie flight.

And I did hear tell of a Canberra instructor hiding his wife in a flying suit, electric hat, and all the other things the well dressed Canberra navigator wears, and take her for a tour of the Scottish low level route!
