-- -- -- -- -- -- -- - but why hadnt i use a mk7d two seater for this trip ? , i hear you say , well i was going to be longer than just a weekend in england , so i would be needing more than a few changes of shreddies so the king air wasnt primarily freds transportation , it was sams ( and my underwear ) ; another perk of her job , and another small but important point to bear in mind was that if we had actually tried to cover that distance with two wardrobes slung beneath the wings we would have gotten about half way across the bay of biscay before we ran out of fuel , and started doing dinghy practice for real .
