How did that happen ?

Well Guv, I could have had a few too many Fine English Ales and so I sat down in this chair and maybe rested my eyes and then I woke with this huge roaring noise in my head and my feet wayyyyy off the ground !

Honest !

A young Pilot Officer Prune
Was posted to fly a balloon
Ascent was his fashion
But donuts his passion
Poor Prune's balloon sank far too soon

(Not part of caption: Danny, good to have you back on board.)

Fans of low-level aviaton photography had plenty of time to catch the latest RAF equipment as it screamed down the valley.

"Sir, does this thing have GPWS?"

"Yes Bloggs. It's a pilot driven system. If you feel anything through your feet, pull the burner trigger immediately! "
