OK, so I'm a wimp. I like my food and never failed to climb into a cockpit when necessary. Must admit there was not a lot of room in most of them to do what was necessary, anyone who has not hung upside down in a Lightning cockpit hasn't lived.

"anyone who has not hung upside down in a Lightning cockpit hasn't lived" I have never done that but it would be a fantastic thing to do, its still possible in South Africa and when I win the lottery it will be high on my list of must do's.
Socs, have you flown any other fast jets? probably none as fast (or noisy) as the lightning ....

I never said I'd flown in a Lightning. The Lightning was the right way up and it was me that was upside down. It was the only way to get at some of the cockpit wiring.
I've flown in a Vulcan as a bit of self loading freight, impressive but not business class by any stretch of the imagination.

I have hung upside down in a cockpit but it wasnt in a very interesting aircraft and it didnt have enough power ;-)
Morning all from a wet windy and very dull Norfolk... I better cheer myself with a mug of tea and a warm danish.

Would you like a straw with that Keaydian or are you going to sit upright to drink it?
;>)
Danish and tea for Spacie, still grey and uninspiring here in Middx....

Good morning everyone,
Stockbunny, more likely one of those toddler proof cups which do not drip when held up side down ;0).

Morning all
Must admit, never been upside down in a cockpit before but have been upside down when a monster of a wave dumped me when I was a kid!
Tea for me please with two sugars.

I thought it time I had something to eat, FEB twice should sort me out. After that I might just take a turn in the hammock, which reminds me, where is Choccy?

You're supposed to suck it, not blow it K!

Socrates, the tea was probably too hot for Keaydian, hence the blowing.

Ok just back from shopping, bought some supplies for lunch.....
as it is chilly - chicken, leek and mushroom pies, I'll rustle up some mashed tatties and fresh runner beans.

I'll put some chilli in his next cuppa, that will wake him up.

Oh I wouldn't do that Socs - could have some pretty undesirable after affects.....
