Saw the published figure on Pprune - so I popped over to fill up. EGLL £1.230? My arse. Anyway, I put Ken's name & address on the form the re-fueller (funny looking hi-viz jacket - it was black, made of kevlar, with lots of pockets) made me sign (and since when do fuel handlers need guns? - Health & Safety gone mad) since it was his thread on the Proon I was using as a reference for fuel availability.

Another fine mess he's got me into.

That would explain the early morning raid at my house today, Loads of YMCA glad chaps in Black (it’s the new Black they tell me)

Handed me a bill for AVGAS, signed by some called Manuel from the Basque Arms Acquisition department; sometimes known as BAA.

Behind him was a Gnome, (well that's what it looked like in the early morning light); but then I recognised it as Willie Walsh who had popped along, to see if he could learn anything from a totally disorganised situation.

Eventually I explained that I did not own a Yak 52 and had sold my Pitts years ago, so the Pilot that bought the AVGAS was not me.

Willie offered me a free BA ticket, if I told them the name of the Pilot. He handed me a Business lounge pass with Naomi Campbell’s name scrubbed off and mine in it's place. When I looked closely, Naomi’s name had been written over SNOOP DOGGY DOO DOO's, so it was at least third hand!

I wiped the traces of Cocaine from the card on Willie’s arm and handed it back. "You can't buy me of that easily" I retorted. "Now if I could have a couple of hours in the 777 sim, that would be fun". I said withna smirk,
"see if I could land it at White Waltham without ripping the undercarriage off!!"

He whispered something to Manuel, who hit him over the head and in a flash they where gone. Along with the Graham Norton look-alike SWAT team.

Hey Ho just another crazy day in the wonderful world of Aviation!!!
