A professor from the then Howard College in Durban, South Africa, took me out to Stamford Hill Aerodrome ( now a sports-stadium) where he flew me around the circuit in a Luscombe Silvaire. Much later I flew the same Luscombe & still greatly enjoyed it.
Now +26000 hours later I can still recall what a pleasure it all was.
It's fair to state that the 1st flight in any aircraft, can often be a pleasure!
