Malcom that's what I often think, "those days without GPS where fun". Todays younger gen pilots wouldn't remember using off trk aids & DR too much I think for ETA's & G/S's. In fact I'd be hard pressed to fly without one now !
I like the bit about yr somewhat smooth head. The odd times that I've flown into HML on a sunny day I've had to drop down the sun visor due sun reflection off a certain persons head !
I believe yr a 'Beacon' Malcom in more ways than one, many I've spoken to over the years have said you shown the way for many a lost aviator !
What ever happened to that young guy you had working for you a while back now that lived & breathed the PA31's you had there based at POD? A senior pilot although young?
Good luck with yr expansion M
