A passing thought

I just got phoned up by somebody who is a British WW2 veteran aviator, asking for a bit of help and advice on his homebuilt aeroplane - which he built himself 3 years ago (and I believe did a memorial flypast in last year as well when the RAF was busy elsewhere).

Needless to say he got the help he needed, but my point is really that I feel rather proud to be on first name terms with somebody who served our country in the air 60+ years ago, is still flying, and still fit and well enough to build an aeroplane (and fly it, by all accounts, quite well).

Just thought I'd share that.
