Thanks for the nice replies boys and girls - makes you realise how many friends there are/could be in this business - just so difficult to meet them..... .. .As for the suggestions:. .. .Writing a book - well that might happen one day.... .. .Flying GA - yes it holds great attraction - gotta learn to fly all over though.... .. .A beer or (mineral water) down at the village pub - well that may happen sooner rather than later! . .. .As for it having been an illustrious career - I would call it a pretty standard one these days - just a bit longer than some maybe. Meantime to all those still "at it" keep it friendly and fun.. .. .FC.
