Perhaps time to look around us and not go looking for new adventures? Enjoying what we have and if we are lucky living off the beaten track where this pandemic does not travel quickly.

A friend of mine is a British pilot who has instructed in the Vancouver area for some years on wheels and floats. Back in the UK he will have to pay around £5k to get an instructor licence. At 65 is it worth it for the meagre returns?
