Why has the Gazelle been fitted with a toasting fork???

Awww, it was the Bassett I had a flight in when I spent a summer holiday at Boscombe Down years ago. :) I seem to remember they had 2 Bassetts at the time, so not sure whether it was this one or not. I'd been promised something more exciting as a treat, but I was happy enough with the Bassett - particularly as we flew up to Warton and on the way back followed a Tornado down the runway.

Happy days ... :) :) :)

Because of it's use by the E.T.P.S. and their need for more data! ;)
