So, here is a confession !

A couple of years ago, I got a bit guilty flying with a 1988 stolen copy of Pooleys, so I set off to a local aviation supply shop to purchase a new and current copy of AFE - which I prefer.

Copy in hand I went to the till and while standing in line, I noticed a box full of last years copy for a fiver.

Well, being a true Yorkshireman, there was only one course of action. I duly returned the new copy and went to purchase the price beneficial copy.

I then got a right chewing off by the shopkeeper who questioned my very existence and cast nasturtiums about my qualities as a commercial pilot.

My thought was I saved a tenner or so, so me and my mate went to the pub!

I still have it and it serves me well

Flame away boys, I don't care - it's Christmas !
