Hi FFF, I have a feeling that our paths have crossed in the early 2000's when I used to fly BOIX. In fact, my last flight in BOIX was in early 2005, I lost my medical when diagnosed with leukaemia. Three months later, thanks to a marvellous NHS oncologist and newly available treatment, I was cleared by the CAA to fly again. What a wonderful feeling that was and I was able to fly again with a current licence after a few flights in BOKY. Thanks to the relaxed medical requirements, I carried on flying until 2021 when I sold my share in our aircraft at CA. Shortly after that I would have had to give up anyway for further medical reasons and age. I have managed to get "air under the tyres" several times since and, although I thoroughly enjoyed it, it wasn't the same.
I don't know about you, but I do get a nice warm feeling when I read the Gengis post above and I realise that I could probably still fly if I wanted to and my wife would let me.
