How a wicked witch dresses for flying
Hi Guys,
As you all know, I currently fly a Mk 1 Besom. For this purpose, I have always worn a tall pointy hat, a long black cloak and hob-nail boots.
This year, however, I have treated myself to the latest flying kit. The tall pointy hat is one of the latest ones made from Kevlar with built in sun visor and spaces either side to fit my Bose Xs. The long black cloak is made from Nomex II and the boots? Well actually they are just ordinary MOD issue leather amunition boots as on the Besom my feet have to double as main undercarriage members. (The Mk 1 Besom is of course a tail-dragger).
Why have I bought such modern flying kit? Well I'll let you into a secret. Later this year, all being well, I am moving up onto jets - the Dyson vacuum cleaner no less.
'Trouble is, my cat is now pestering me for a Nomex cat suit, complete with first officer's bars and a flight engineer's wings badge! 'Has ideas above his station that one.
Wish me luck!
Broomstick.
