'No Frills Airline' Postcard

Only one spare seat (right next to pilot). No in-flight meals, drinks, movies or toilets-----but excellent views guaranteed. No pressurised, heated cabin or luggage room----just plenty of fresh air due to the very open cockpit. Reach out and grab a piece of cloud, or just dangle your feet in the fluffy, wet stuff! From an old (approx.1985) photo of pilot sitting on the trike of a weight-shift (hang glider type wing) microlight aircraft. The 440cc two-stroke engine and the large two-bladed wooden propeller can be seen behind the pilot. (The exciting flying and handling characteristics of this delightful machine are vividly described in a thrilling episode which can be found in my apocalyptic novel, A Time To Run (Colin Hudson), now available in Kindle and eBook format).
