I was seven and a bit miles west-north-west and don’t remember anything about it.

No, he’s a seriously loaded antique car collector.

Range anxiety is apparently bad enough on the ground, let alone when airborne.

BeaufighterVI, you can’t access your PMs as they’re not enabled until you’ve made some ridiculous number of posts.
