(б) TAXI

Captain Ben Fawcett 0 has bought (buy) an unusual taxi and I has begun a new service. The ‘taxi’ is a small Swiss aeroplane called a ‘Pilatus Porter’. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain’s Fawcett’s first passenger was a doctor who has flown from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett flew passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
