It was my dad who was the first passenger, things were progressing rather smoothly and he was somewhat enjoying himself. That was until the engine kindly give a brief cough. This was closely followed by the weather quickly closing in. Rather annoyingly, I had meticulously studied the forecasted weather for that day in great detail prior to departing, however, it was awful, very unpleasant, mainly rain.
The poor man hasn't recovered to this day..!
