aight & Level Top Kneddy or Full TAP? If you score above 170, promote yourself immediately to head of Baqshot Aeroscrape and begin work on a Concorde replacement. Pass rate for a full TAP (Total Aviation Person) rating is 100 with extra mince pies as a bonus. Anyone scoring between 100 and 50 suggests either room for improvement, or a sorry decline, depending on last year's score, while those with less than 50 really ought to pay more attention to their Budgie News each week. If you get less than 10, replace Top Kneddy in the Ministry of Planes Help me with Uncle Roger's quiz this year and you can have my mince pies! Answers AIRTRANSPORT 1.
