Speaking of old-school techniques, how many pilots still know morse code well?

HA! As an ex meat-bomber myself I can attest to the "battery hen" syndrome a lot of the DiverDrivers get when having to leave their 5nm radius. Just can't cope, I'm serious. I'm a charter jock now, so any legs less than 250nm are a waste of my precious time. Barely leaving the circuit.
Old-school is tops. Morse is tops. I actually own a bubble sextant, and I can hand-start a Tiger Moth too. So tally-ho old chap, want to go for a flip in my kite, lob some lead at the damned Jerry, jimmy the flak, and blip the old camel back to the circus, then a short snifter after mess? Toodle-pip, old bean!
