Relight above mentions the 1966 Wright Jubilee - on 20 April 1966 I flew my Gnat IRT with Bob Turner. At the conclusion of the IRT he asked if I minded him practising his sequence for the competition. " No problem, Sir" says I. "By the way" he then says, I am cleared down to 200'. He then proceeds to wring out the aeroplane, and me. A sedate return to Valley followed. He went on to win the trophy that year. Oh, and I passed the IRT.
