Yep at school whole school jammed into two rooms with the partition doors open, watched until the cleaner kicked me out then snuck into the pub on the walk home. Got butt kicked for being getting home after dark etc etc.
I remember being totally space mad during the whole 60's.

$$s for Aces ??
Wally..I'll send you my current Bank details for an EFT. If you do send me a chq, please make it out to our good friend Mr C ASH.
Pilot I SAW that had a cunning stunt, was at Biggin Hill Airshow, flying a Stampe. Did a loop from dot feet, but on the bottom side/haul out the ground was somewhat higher than anticipated. Poor old Stampe looked like it had been stomped on. Luckily the old cotton harness broke and the pilot was thrown clear and survived. Not at his best, flying wise. No cigar!
We all have "off" days. Hopefully not that bad.

In a similar vein to Mr Stampe, Chris Sperou, doing his inverted at dot feet after takeoff, only to "land", inverted, on the top wing of his Pitts. Launceston races, quite a few years ago! Fortunately, nil damage to Chris, little to the aircraft.
