There were great times and opportunities Gordomac for those that were adventurous…I shied away from CX and sultan of Oman as I didn’t want to be a real Johnny Foreigner, an early command on 146 at Sarfend (they went skint after two years)..in a fit of indecision I did an FAA ATP in 8 days in LAX and got an offer of sponsorship for a green card but decided that taking 2 months unpaid leave on top of 47 days annual leave was the way to go. Although I lost my license at 44 I still managed 6 basic types and dog knows how many gliders etc since then.
Went to Chinatown in SIN yesterday which I first visited in 78 and last 83…how the world has changed…
Freds brother..ex Lancs and BOAC was a mate of my dads and lived around the corner in Leigh..bit of weirdo as front garden was layered in used cat litter.
