Ah so that is why everyone has decided to hide thier age!
Well, for the record I'm 49 and a half on Sunday. My logbook shows that the first time the RN let me loose outside the circuit I was 19, but I'd already gone quite a long way from home in an aircraft quite a few times in the summer of 1977, just after my 18th birthday, during my Flying Scholarship at Luton.
Aircrew are usually reaing around with their ar~e on fire and expect to have all the information they need presented to them
Perhaps in the light blue, but in the Dark Blue I think a bit more nouse was expected
