EESDL, you have me at a disadvantage, do I know you? You certainly seem to know me. Please feel free to mail me and reveal all (ooh err!!).
Fortyodd - Scary!!! No NVG!!!! I didn't realise that it got as dark as that though, whenever I needed reassurance there was always a nice policeman or two on hand to help.
John Eacott - what line of work have you gotten into? North sea, corporate?
T.C had a lot of ups and downs whilst in green. Got totally disillusioned and pissed off many times but that was easily outweighed by the opportunity for the type of flying and work colleagues that a lot of people will never experience. The time came giving me the opportunity to go so I took that deep breath and went. Had a very happy landing.
On the subject of names I'm considering changing it to "finals" or "short finals". Though those that know me would probably suggest that I go along with "Short!"
Any suggestions?
Regards
