Anything for Master!

Let’s certainly!

Virtuous paper bag

Oh Master to be virtue

That nearly caused me to crash a Cessna 182

The wing tanks carry 92 US Gallons. I made my Flightplan calculations on 92 Imperial Gallons

I have never come across any conscience trash so far.

Wow! Self-disposing garbage!

The spirit of Stanley Unwin lives on.
