Lorraine Kelly.....I don't think even 'Moulinex' would......
Re. free rides, it was often the case that SORF formation flights at Leeming would be asked to take a stn pax sandbag along for a ride in the lead JP. One pilot wasn't much impressed when told to take some lad along for a trip, just made sure he was strapped in, then ignored him.... It may be recalled that such trips leading refresher students around often culminated in a humdinger of a no-holds barred tailchase.
"How did your pax enjoy it?", he was later asked.
"No idea - he went to sleep at one and a half G and didn't wake up until we landed" came the reply!
He didn't take any more pax!
