Default SPOTTED in Japan.

My friend was in the queue for security at Narita Airport in Tokyo yesterday and she said she was behind an English guy in his 30s or 40s and heard him talking about RC Racing. He'd been in Japan "on business" but she wasn't 100% sure whether or not it was RC-related but whoever he was with asked if he'd got any work done the night before the flight, and the guy responded that he'd done some work on his car.

I'm so curious as to whether or not it's someone I might know - does anyone know who the mystery Japan-travelling RC racer is?!

Apparently he had a southern accent, dark hair and was queuing for security at Narita at about 10.30am yesterday (14/1), possibly for a SwissAir flight to Zurich.

Any ideas?!

I'm going to guess at Chris Grainger.

Great first post

Emzy was one of the really first ooplers (and actually a GIRL!), so some respect is due here.

I was hoping this was going to be one of the oOple stickers I plastered around Tokyo

Interesting though

I think Robin Schumacher was in Japan at that time on "buisness". Although 30-40 years old was being slightly kind!

Ooooh! Do you remember where abouts? I'll go on the hunt

I just thought it was pretty interesting to think how small the world is (and that someone's always listening!!)
