Retirement of John Standen
To all my students past a present a fond farewell. April 30th is the day of my retirement from Aviation.
My aviation career has involved Professional flying from my first job as an instructor at Wolverhampton Aero Club via the Royal Saudi Airforce to Chief Pilot aerial Survey. As I ground school instructor I have taught at SECOAT (Manston), PPSC (Bournemouth) Pilot Assist (Alconbury) Bristol Ground School, EPTA (Bournemouth) and lastly here at Oxford as subject expert Meteorology and Air Law.
I have enjoyed my life in aviation, but it is now time to do some real work, the house and garden await my attention and now I have just purchased a retirement present of a silenced shot gun my firearm collection has reached 17 guns and I shall now have time for some serious shooting and fishing.
All the best to everyone.
John Standen
