I had a great time flying Denis' Jet Ranger in 1976 in the south of France where he had a fantastic house in Rion de Landes. He was a vintage car enthusiast & had the money to indulge to the max! I think he had about 70 cars & bikes. When he finished his time there, we all climbed into his MU2 & flew to North Ireland. He showed me his hangar set up, very James Bondish & also took me to look at the huge house his pilot would live in! He drove me around in a Bentley convertable about a 1925 to 1930 model, just like new! How he did everything with only 1 eye was remarkable. An amazing man, 68 at the time, & had a charming wife & family.
