Sad eh? But it's nice to have the info at hand that may give a clearer idea of what is going on at the time. When he was with us in Cairo, I saw at first hand the back and forwards manouvres he had to do to please the officials and especially when it came to refueling from the boot of a taxi! We had to use the pedestrian walkway to bring G-YROX close enough, lol. But I do wish I was the proverbial fly on the wall whenever he lands anywhere :-)Eddie Goldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969453786501704363.post-54595719337807297812010-04-13T21:18:22.935+01:002010-04-13T21:18:22.935+01:00what's he up in Pakistan?
