....aawwhh... you're just a big ol' softy at heart, aren't you.
I had a similar experience which made me want to learn to fly helicopters; except the helicopter was a Bolkow 105, the venue was Bolton and I was considerably older than 12
But many thanks will always go to that pilot who showed me around and took me on a quick flight - he has a lot to answer for!
Cheers
