--- Lesson 29 Taxi! |
| [00:07.520] |
--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:13.880] |
--- Dose Captain Fawcett think any trip is too dangerous? |
| [00:22.160] |
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. |
| [00:31.000] |
The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. |
| [00:38.440] |
This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. |
| [00:43.800] |
The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. |
| [00:56.280] |
Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. |
| [01:06.960] |
Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. |
| [01:13.640] |
Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. |
| [01:23.760] |
Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. |
| [01:30.640] |
The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, |
| [01:37.600] |
but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous. |
