Turns the rush hour into a game of bumper-cars: what's not to love? (Cyclists and pedestrians don't get to answer this...)

I've been inside one that did that at Boulogne, but I had no windows to see out off and had no idea what was going on! The Captain apologised to me later as he he'd warned the pax over the PA but had no voice link with me down in the APU bay. :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
