When I was a youngster many moons ago I used to cycle about 4/5 miles from school in the Yorkshire Dales to our home, on certain afternoons I used to go like hell so that I could have my evening meal early and then watch "Chuck and PT who were my hero's for they were the pilots in the the Bell 47s in the tv programme "Whirly Birds", that programmes was the ignition of my fire and absolute total wish to fly helicopters.
Many moons later at the age of 50yrs I took the chance and started being taught to fly the R22, 40 hours of tuition later I had my PPL(H), I soloed at about 10/12 hours and guess what,... that smile has never left my face
