Apparently he'd just done a low fly-by as he thought he might be losing fuel from the fuel tanks. He said he thought he might have a "hole in one".

I've heard of people buying aircraft with their nest egg but this is taking it too far!
Perhaps he was a member here on "Prune" and thought this was some kind of initiation requirement?
Another rumour is that he was trying to make a "trunk" call on the radio to his famous friend Vicky "Pollard" with whom he "arbors" some kind of grudge.
All in all this "leaves" me in no doubt that this man was "treemendously" lucky.
