I was once on an evening flight in a Whirlwind moving into snowdonia toward Valley when we were flying up a hill as the fog came down and darkness also fell. The two occupants of the upper floor seats 'became disorientated' and could not make the map work. As we were close to a road and we could see lights approaching I was asked to stop the car and ask where we were, I was dressed in a flying suit and had a 60s-type inner and outer helmet on at the time. I made my way the few dozen yards across the field to a gate and stood in the road waving the car down....when it rounded the bend and its lights fell on me - it braked sharply, turned around quickly a powered away very quickly for, I think, an Austin A40!
So, you're a car driver on a Welsh hill in the middle of nowhere and you hear strange loud noises and see bright flashing lights descending close by your side - then a large headed green being apears in front of you...what would you do?
