Thanks Guys,

I too think it’s a good story although my mates are all fed up with hearing it now!

Please note that I have been having problems with a post I put on the Piloting page in which they were questioning weather this was spam. I had posted the message on Google groups which caused them to question the story. I note that I had also posted this through Google groups and not through my original login details with Aviation Banter hopefully this will allay any fears others may get that read this.


Regards Graeme

I wish to say a BIG THANK YOU to all those who are supporting me in this. The total amount of donations received so far from friends, family, gliding clubs, members of gliding clubs and aviation enthusiasts now stands at £788.00 (with gift aid) which equates to approximately £750.00 going direct to the Parkinson's Disease Society after Justgiving have taken their admin fee. This is absolutely fantastic and better than I ever imagined and we still have over 2 months to go before the big day.
Thanks again for your support and good luck messages.

Well I did it. See my scrapbook of the days events of 10 years ago that has just been updated to include photos of my return to the sky:-

Thanks to all those who supported me in this for your messages of support and donations. You have helped me to help the Parkinson's Disease Society help others. The total raised so far is over £1500!

I will leave you in your aviation world, My feet are safer on the ground!

All the best and

Thank you
