Tinkerton Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thoroughly enjoying a week away in France in the tiniest sleepiest little village I've seen. 20 minutes drive to the nearest bakery. 15 minutes to the 'supermarket'. First holiday away in years but loving it. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 In a tunnel today and spot a nice 993 911 a few cars behind me. I then hear a glorious exhaust and think to myself, that is coming from that little 911? Then a McLaren and an M5 of the V10 variety come into view. That explained that heh.

scorch Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nipped out for lunch and home bargains has big bags of chocolate for 19p each as they're on the last day of the sell by date. Return to work with half a dozen and hand them out to the team and thank them for this week as its been a tough one. It's good to let the team know they're appreciated. It means I can slack off a bit and they just assume I'm doing srs bsns manager *suitcase*. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 And if you can let them know they're appreciated on the cheap, even better ha. Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just managed to sweet talk my way into a taxi run in the passenger seat of a Spitfire at Biggin Hill with my old man.. loved every second of it. I stink of fuel and all the right things. Buzzing! Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 One of the perks of having a dad in the business I guess.. still it's taken me almost 25 years to get a taxi seat, god knows how long it'll be till I actually get a sorti! Even my mum hasn't gotten that far! Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's very rare the seat isn't taken unfortunately. They sell the seat for most sorties or it's taken by an engineer. Costs a lot to have the plane up in the air with landing maintenance etc.. still over the moon I got a taxi ride though!! Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Well yeah. It's obviously in great demand... Link to post Share on other sites
