(The London Times) A young aircraftman at a Royal Air Force fighter command sta- tion has the distinction of having "ridden" a Spitfire "bareback". Be is a rigger, and was finishing off a job on the tail of a Spitfire. He was sitting astride the fuselage facing tailwards, and the engine, was running. The pilot, unaware that the rigger was still on the tail, took off. Puzzled by the weight and the unrespimsive be.. haviour of his aircraft, the pilot made a circuit of the. airdrome, while his passenger- gripped tight with knees and arms. After, a second circuit, the pilot landed smoothly. The medical officer hur- ried across, but the aiveraftnian was found to be none the worse.
