So much fuss. I was just sitting there, doing my run up in the Skyhawk when the Caravan backed right into me. I honked and flashed my lights, but to no avail. Stupid Caravan drivers never check their wing mirrors.
Personally I wouldn't hang my handbag from those knob thingies on the dash? It might swing and break my kneecap. I put it safely on the floor. There are foot pedals down there, but I never need to use them, as my engine works perfectly. Keeps turning even when there's a Caravan on the prop.

Could this be the little...ahem...'incident' at Elstree late last year??
If I remember correctly an instructor let his student fire a Cessna up while he went and finished his coffee. The student had the throttle set too high, didn't have the park brake on nor his feet on the toe-brakes and just panicked when he shot forward into the rear end of another aircraft.
Its a stab in the dark but looks like the same incident to me...
Never ever forget to brake,
