Hawken King Design

Ah! what a brilliant and terrifying invention the airplane is. The world is, as the cliche goes, a very small place. Of the millions of people on this planet, any given two of them at any given time can meet up in any given place, provided that they have both got a watch and a plane ticket. And sometimes, they don’t even know they’re going to meet.

Call me an old hippie, but I find that a bit spooky when you consider the odds.

Mind you; when you’re sitting on the plane with a numb bum and several hours of desert still to fly over, you realise that all this small world business is a load of dingoes kidneys. It’s bloody huge.
