Air minded

My uncle took me to the Farnborough Air Show in 1955, I was 9 and I
witnessed Roly Falk roll the Avro Vulcan, something I will never forget
for as long as I live. I joined the Air Cadets at 13 yr and spent all my
spare time sitting in the Communication flight crew room at RAF Horsham St
Faiths (now Norwich International Airport). I flew all over the UK in Avro
Ansons. I did a gliding course at 611 GS RAF Swanton Morley in 1962 and
went solo, accepted as a Staff Cadet and obtained my first instructor
category in 1964, aged 18 years. I eventually retired from 611 VGS in 2000
with an A2* cat and appointed as Officer Commanding. Instructed at BGA
clubs from 2000 to 2006 when I retired from instructing, or so I thought.
Seems other people had other ideas, still sitting in the back seat as
noisy ballast.
