Thanks for doing this again, Ned.
I no longer fly, but as others have listed their history, he's mine:
1970s - Chipmuks (passenger) with RAF cadets, Filton, passenger in PA28 and Glos Airtourer with family, aero modelling, control line, RC etc.
1980s - gliding, K21, K6CR, Pilatus B4, Libelle. Instructor
1990s - PPL(D), PPL(A), instructor, CAA X Examiner, aircraft inspector, PFA Coach for Europa conversions
2000s - ATPL(A), CPL(H) - BAe146, Avro RJ, B733, B206, R44, R22
2010s - more of the same
2020s - less of the same
Best bits? All of it really, such variety of forms of flying - weight-shift, 3-axis, tricicycle gear, taildragger, mono wheel, rotary, airliner. Rotary wins it though. I just didn't find a way to make it pay as well as the airlines, which is a pity, 'cos that was where my heart was!
