- many years ago - whilst on a 12 month gliding holiday in zimbabwe (with occasional work breaks on Hawk T60's)
I owned an Austin Apache (cute little car,basically austin 1100 with triumph front and back end glued on) - 3 of us driving from Gwelo up to Salisbury,very hot day and on the way back the SU electric fuel pump packed up - the only way we got home was to pull the rear seat back out and get the rear seat passenger to keep clouting it with a jacking handle (pump was mounted in the boot).

One of the earliest scribblings I saw in the RAF was a flight safety poster on inside of bog door proclaiming ' Promote Flight Safety' - and scrawled underneath it was ' By not Fokin Flying'
