Thumbs up Rod Rae / Rothmans

Upside down in an open cockpit! 1980, the best & scariest flight of my life was with Rod in his Pitts Special. He flew us inverted for no less than 15 minutes over the Clyde (Glasgow). I hung white-knuckled onto the straps which I was sure were going to fail. I was going to die, but what a way to go, I thought.

Great pilot!

p.s. Just found a picture - Rod's a/c was G-BADY. Where is it now?
