Prentice Banner Towing

As a sprog living in South London i well remember seeing the Prentice towing around the area ' LAMBTEX LUXURY RUGS ' was one of the messages; that is quite short and possibly not too much of a strain for the beast.
Many Many years later i was whirling a prop around on an old radial engine at Redhill when Stuart felt the need to point out that i had no chocks in place,which led me to point out it had no plugs in place either !!!.
Janet used to be one of the regulars at Jocks airshows around the Country.
At the time i think Lambtex was the only aircraft operating Banner Towing in the UK so it did not cause much of a scandal when it was stopped (due to commercial TV i believe) we got it back in 84/85 but very few operators now.
