1. Has Captain Fawcett taken passengers to many strange places in his plane?
Yes, he has.
2. Why is the plane called 'Taxi'?
Because the plane can take passengers to almost anywhere they want.
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi
and 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.
