I too grew up in the age of the war film like Shortstripper, and have only recently got my licence, so I feel like a kid in a sweet shop, in that I fancy a bit of everything.
I also find the challenge of Nav quite enjoyable and satisfying, and even tho' I've got a GPS, I rather use the Mk1 eye-ball, but have the GPS there just in case.
I managed to escape work early this afternoon and went for a 30 min bimble around Tonbridge, Bough Beech area. Nothing much, just for the pure joy of flying on a lovely evening.
