Incidentally, I once asked the legendary (but still very much with us) Darrol Stinton if he'd be my referee for membership of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. He said he'd be delighted, but unfortunatately wasn't a member himself.

I asked out of curiosity why he'd never decided to join, his response: "well, you've seen the membership form - they want to know how many types you've flown; I stopped counting at 300 and that was years ago".

There's always somebody who'se done more than you'll ever manage!

In the meantime, on 96 - 96th was a Tanarg, 95th a Stinson S108-2, 94th a Quik GT450, 93rd a rather cute Piper Pacer lookalike called a Eurofox. Any suggestions for an appropriate 100th gratefully considered.
