I recall an elderly chap at a Popham one day who was preparing to hand start his Cub by himself. The aircraft was parked on the slope just east of the clubhouse, he prepared everything inside, then went and moved the chocks from behind the wheels to in front of them. He then wandered around to the front of the prop after one last look at the windsock, turned round to get on with the job only to see several people, myself included, running after his aeroplane to save it running into a couple of parked Cessna's.
Several morals there I reckon!
