Hi Andrew

Ahhhhhhh, because of that experience, you ended up joining the Army and
became a bird gunner so you could shoot aircraft down with Blowpipes,
eh??????????

I am yet another guy whose amblyopia was bad enough to disqualify him
for pilot, yet keep him V1 (actually, 111112, damn it). I could have
gone Nav, but chose MARS instead. My troop commander sent me on
Blowpipe course when I should have been doing the NOIB, so I would up
with my third choice, the Herbies.
