All the best in your retirement John. I don't doubt you will still enjoy life after aviation!! You were, without a doubt, my best teacher (instructor, in the aviation bussines) ever, and this comes from someone who's been in school for the last 17 years non stop!
Thanks to you I got 100% in Met and I still remember looking forward to Air Law for the last period... that just shouldn't happen!
Now go enjoy that "manor" of yours, and shoot your weapons... but don't hurt anybody! You'll be missed in this steadily degrading bussines, I hope I come across many people like you in my career.
Farewell!!
