after a quick chat with the pilot ( english is the language of the skies ) it was decided that he would prepare the hunter for its short flight to my little swiss airfield , but no he didnt need to take the wings off , weight would not be a problem , even at this altitude , and it was agreed that the helicopter would arrive at eleven oclock , the pilot would then assess the situation , under-sling the load ( my baby was now being called a load , humf ) and then there would be test flights to check the aerodynamic stability of the said load , and only when the pilot was absolutely satisfied then it would then be flown to the requisite airfield .
