I was wandering around Chino a few years ago and came across a Gnat all done out like Red Arrow. There was a young, bored looking lad fiddling with it and he was eventually joined by a scruffy looking elderly bloke. I asked if it was going to fly and they confirmed that it was so I waited for the hotshot pilot to arrive. In the meantime, I disclosed my futile claim to a back seat ride as the son in law of Petter's cousin.
Then the scruffy bloke came out with a red helmet, jumped in, started up and went flying.
Still, I would probably have been sick.
