Very funny article, how true
The two people :
"two private plane enthusiasts who never once talked about the speed of their machines or the convenience, or the sheer, unbridled fun of skimming the treetops at 150mph. Instead, they talked for hours about parking and refuelling. "
are probably James May and Colin Goodwin (Autocar) who share a Luscombe at White Waltham.
To be fair, in a Luscombe of limited oomph all you can do is "check your plane for two hours, take off, sit still, speak gibberish into a radio, land, eat cheese and then sit still again till you’re home again."
