Red face Alaways check everything

There I was trundling along in my new wonderplane wondering why it tended to turn and roll to starboard when I released pressure on the stick. It was just a gentle pressure I hasten to add.

Not a problem methinks, rudder trim needs adjusting.

After pulling off my best landing in an Auster to date I parked in front of the pump. Prop clunks to a standstill, passenger door gently swings open.....

Prat in left seat hadn't checked it shut properly after dropping off passenger. I've since learned that the door can appear to be shut but the latch isn't fully home. Numpty :o

C'mon own up to the daft mistakes you got away with so the rest of us can learn without having to repeat the experience.
