Talking of 3-piece suites in a glider trailer; Nick Nichols asked me if he could borrow the Ka-6 trailer to collect a 3-piece suite from east London. Having nothing better to do, I went with him.
On the way back we stopped at one set of traffic lights in London. A very posh Rolls Royce pulled up alongside and down came the electric window (unusual in those days). City gent leans across and says;
"I say old boy, what DO you have in that trailer"?
Without hesitation Nick said "Deep frozen pythons mate" and wound his window back up again.
RR driver looked extremely puzzled.
