Airshow on at home base one weekend last year, and I wanted to fly to Ireland. So, I'd spoken to the ground crew some days before, and arranged that they'd get my aircraft out of the hangar at the start and put it right out on the visiting aircraft park.

Like hell they did, it was out of the hangar, but at the back of all the display stands. Had to ask half a dozen spotters before I found out where it was, then 90 minutes of cajoling, moving, persuading and occasionally shouting to manoeuvre it through the crowds and display stands to somewhere I could start it up next to a taxiway.
