Meteor T7 air test

Young Meteor pilot about to take a T7 out for an air test gets phone call from a young chap in a ground trade asking if there was any chance of a flight that day. 'Of course' says our young pilot.


After briefing, they take to the air, excited pax in the back. Air test completed our young pilot asks pax if he'd like to do some aerobaticss?


'Oh yes please, sir, that would be fantastic!'


So our pilot starts off with a loop.


'That was great fun sir, what was that called?' .....and so on.


So after every aerobatic manoeuvre, the same question is forthcoming from the rear seat.....


Our pilot is getting a bit bored with his aeros, so decides to end off with a stall turn (may be wrong here) and head to base for tea and medals.


Unfortunately, there's a problem, and our young tyro ends up in an inverted spin (I am told Meteors don't spin too well).


Our tyro battles for control (no bang seats in a T7 of course in case of the worst) and after much wrestling he regains control, mops his fevered brow, and heads for home.....and then from the back seat


'That was great fun sir, what was THAT called'.....Silence on the way back to base.....
