I have a friend who is old enough to be my father yet young enough to be a good friend.

He is 76 and this year alone completed 32 ferries with aircraft from the States to the UK or Back.

Most of the ferries in light twins or ropey old singles. I keep telling him that one day he will end up as a hole in the sea but he doesnt care.

Both his parents ended up demented in their 80s and he would rather do what he loves doing with a risk than going their way.

He has a greater enthusiasm and love of life than most half his age.

So if you pass the medical and someone says NO I think you should shout PREJUDICE AND SUE.
