Helmets/ FLightsuits in a spamcan

Ok, so there you are in your C150 - helmet, gloves, nomex suit and surely a nice pair of genuine RAF boots - Irvin or 'Sage Green' too??

What does your passenger think?

You might be immune to the s******s and the wxxxxr gesticulations behind your back but they just might notice and worry about the 'Walter' they are flying with.

So - do you get a full set in various sizes for them too?

Life is full of risks - I agree that you should minimize them. You can do this by flying sensibly, keep current and avoid bad weather.

Helmets and suits are OK for the right machine - where the risks are higher i.e. air displays and aerobatics.

Why not wear a full 'Damon Hill' in your Skoda when you go shopping?

If you do wear the full bxllxxxs in your Cessna, please come over to Turweston for a photo - I'm sure somebody will print it.

Please, please round it off with just a few badges and at least one set of wings.
