A WING AND A PRAYER -

'On one occasion Jimmy seated a passenger on each of the [Bristol] plane's wings, their legs dangling over the leading edge, and their hands grasping the flying wires. They had missed the boat to Singapore in Derby and were desperate to catch up with it in Broome. With all the passenger seats booked, it was the only solution Jimmy could offer.

"It's only an hour's flying and we'll be landing in Broome." he said. "With good weather you'll enjoy it."'

From the book 'Jimmy Woods, Flying Pioneer' by J. Lewis.
