First solo glider, 1965 at Kirton in Lindsey courtesy of ATC. First solo power Carlisle 1967, a flying scholarship from the same organisation. I note there are still a few alumni from Carlisle around that time on Pprune. So 63 years burning dead dinosaurs.
Still at it, when Covid lets me get at my aircraft again.
And the man above me, "Well done that man, take his name sergeant!"
