Shortly after Treasure Hunt finished, Castle Air had the contract to fly to and from Lundy Island at weekends, and to do this, they set up a base (Winnebago, fuel trailer, 'XU) in a field at Hartland Point, North Devon.
Having taken the folks out to Lundy on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon lent itself to takng people on a flit round the parish for a look-see.
I availed myself of this a couple of times as I was staying with friends about a quarter of a mile from the temporary base.
The first time I did this, I managed to get the front left seat, alongside Keith Thompson, and explained to him where I was staying whilst three young ladies were being inserted into the back of 'XU, and when we took off, we flew straight to my friends house and did a couple of slow 360's around it whilst I took some foties (an enlarged one of which they still have on their wall) and then away we went for a very entertaining whizz around the locality.
K.T. was a very pleasant chap, who spared the time after flying, to answer a barrage of questions from a just another numpty, with grace and humour.
