 23-10-01  FOGGY’S “TOP GUN” DAY (1/10)
For years, the eyes of Carl Fogarty glinted out from inside his crash helmet, striking fear into his rivals. But we look back now on one day in 2001 when it was a very different story!.

It's like he's caught a glimpse of his own reflection and the colour is draining from his cheeks as the minutes tick by. Scared is probably the wrong word. Anxious is nearer the truth. And he's unusually quiet as well. He is used to operating fast, red machines, but he's never experienced anything quite like this one before.

The red thing isn't a 996. It isn't even a bike. It's a £6 million Hawk jet. And the man who doesn't like flying is preparing to climb inside it. And if you haven't guessed already, it's not going to be a normal flight!
