Re: Pilot forgets to attach man to craft
Three years ago (If I remember correctly) a lady was being interviewed on the TV. During the war she was a member of the ground crew that were employed to sit on the tail of aircraft as they taxied across the airfield. This lady was sat on the tail of a Spitfire fighter and it took off with her clinging onto the tail. The pilot felt there was something wrong with the way the plane handled and landed.Although she was shaken suffered a bruise or two no serious harm was done. I think her name was Florence Lettuce.
