Ex-FAA carrier pilot airborne again!
Navy Wings picked up the story of ex-Fleet Air Arm pilot 'Robbie' Robson - who is 97-years young - getting back behind the controls and into the air. Robbie flew Fairey Barracuda torpedo-bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Venerable during the Second World War, and several other types, including Sea Mosquitos, before leaving the Navy. (As an aside, Venerable is possibly better known as the Argentinean aircraft carrier Veinticinco de Mayo). He's a great bloke and it was a real privilege to fly with him.
