    Victorinox ‘Swiss Champ’. If I had to drop everything and leave with only one possession this would probably be the one. It could, I’m sure, just as easily be a Leatherman but I’ve yet to own one of those in order to compare.

    I flew on the top deck of a 747 for the first time about 18 months ago. Boyhood dream fulfilled, but sadly old and tired these days. Aircraft have moved on.

    And don’t UKIP want to ban the buff?

    However can I nominate the Gillette safety razor and all its copies?

    62A/K is the place to be. Once turned down an upgrade to First, in an aisle seat, to stay in 62A.

    You’re right, though, planes have moved on. Sadly. There isn’t the same frisson of going upstairs in a 380, and no matter how good the 350 and 787 are, they just lack that special something. 1A/K is the closest vies to sitting in the cockpit, just with a much better wine list.

    Man who likes his window seat but also being able to get to the toilet overnight?

    Sometimes one needs to join the Pile High Club! 🙂

    But yes, window seat with the lockers, and easy to get up and take a slash walk around for a while. 🙂 Upstairs is so much quieter, and better service, too.

    For bonus points, pop downstairs for some crop dusting. 😈

    Possibly an obvious one, but if there is any ‘bit of kit’ that deserves the word “awesome” it is this one…

    Without it, humans would have hugged every coastline until they fell off the edge.

    @ julienwilson, if that’s what I think it is, IE, the bottom one, then you win. My little pal (Mrs EGF) is linked up to 6 of them as I speak.
