Benson and Odiham both try to conduct families flying as part of their Families Day events. Of course, this small measure of "thank you" to long suffering relatives was leapt upon by the gutter press last year in a screechingly self-indulgent and ill-informed diatribe ("helicopters needed in Afghanistan giving joy rides" etc). No doubt some spin-meister in MoD is weighing up the PR value of continuing with them....I've flown families flying a number of times and it's enormously satisfying to see the grins and smiles on their faces.

Well done with all of those FJ back seats - I'm cursed...every time I get one sorted it goes tits up somehow!
