Ah - the Moke!! Yes I did have a moment when going from Peter Craigs leaving RPC to the Red Lion in Helston. A quick swerve to avoid an oncoming bridge and I fell out - it would have been better had I not been driving at the time! I can still clearly remember tumbling down the road as the Moke persued me, spinning as it came along - eventually hitching itself to the wire fence by its front bumper. I continued to the Red Fred minus my aircrew watch and the pattern from the brass buttons on my jacket!

Next day I could not get out of bed, and could not fly for a few days.
