I'm more intrigued by the 'spare strap'

After checking on the previous post I've discovered that my flight bag has put on even more weight than it's owner. it now weighs in at a stunning 14 lbs. I've even ditched the big old GPS for a current model. Mmmm, must be the extra spare batteries :t

Loo roll because I've found myself at too many small strips with loos but a distinct lack of loo-roll. Actually it's about 1/3 of a loo roll, which fits in the corner quite nicely.

Spare strap for tieing things down, to me, or to the aircraft.

13½ lbf plus the weight of my force gauge, which I just used to weigh it - so about the same as LowNslow.

And thinking about it, at-least one allegedly international airport lacking any paper products in what were laughably called "toilets" as well.

At all too many small strips, I also find inadequate facilies. I myself carry:

Straws
MIDI Hifi (Saisho), excellent value.
Selection of affordable (and why not?) easy listening cassette tapes.
3+ Ginsters Pasties. Lovely hot or cold.
Moist wipes, large roll. All situations catered for in comfort. If you run out of pasties, can be just as tasty.
Small, crap, Radio Set for light ground entertaintment, with Radio 2 premarked on dial with Tip-Exx.
All manuals regardless of remote necessity. Including Eastern Europe. And B747 Classic. Just in case.
War Stories.
Cockeral. Generally runs to the North. Practical animal-based compass check when 'magnetism' is on the blink ('bloody always, eh!! these rubbish new fangled systems."
Sextant (in case Cockeral bug6ers off)
Small Bloke Who knows how to use sextant. Beginning now to clutch at what where rather sh!t straws any way. See Straws
