Better if he kept to the wokery ........... at least he understands that load of old cobblers.
As long ago as the late 1960s at Gutersloh, the men who I Met-briefed to fly Hunters and Lightnings were more-or-less my peer group for age, and I was just into my thirties. All of my pilot neighbours on the patch were my age or older, and their wives [so I was informed, you understand] were sort-of-30. Big drama as 'er-next-door hit that mark!
