I flew as a passenger on a 360 many years ago out of Norwich - it was a special charter taking a group of enthusiasts down to RIAT Fairford. I remember it being b***dy hot, and the poor old shed sounded like it was at full power most of the way. On the return leg I managed to get the jump seat next to (and behind) the captain. We used an awful lot of Fairford's runway getting airborne. I'm fairly sure the aircon was turned off before the take off roll, and not put back on until we had reached some altitude. I was given a headset but the mic wasn't plugged in. It made for an interesting day out - we passed over Enstone and I remember looking down at the sorry remains of the Bristol Frightener which had ground looped only a few days earlier.
