This guy is surely Giles Wemmbley-Hogg!? He's in the great English upper class tradition of bumbling idiots breezing through life totally oblivious to the wreckage piling up in their wake, and always approaching life with an optimistic smile. You could argue Biggles was just such a man. Part of me (the South part) says we should celebrate such a positive attitude to life, but North says the person he most reminds me of is someone who ended up dead with his wife on a Perthshire hillside a few years back.

We all know people who fly who we think are dangerous. It's very difficult making the decision (as an instructor, or an examiner, or simply an observing fellow pilot) to do something about it.
