Well dada,
I do not make out I am in Germany, I worked in the German system for 8 years as a Civilian Parachute pilot at a British Army adventure training unit. I flew turbine Islanders, did in excess of 5000 parachute tasks, and AS at Southport I helped maintain the aircraft, from cleaning them to removing airframe bits and a turbine engine or two. Like Southport Beach it was a "Field Opperation" If you did not fix the aircraft it stayed on the ground.
I was in the German tax system and still am registered in the German National Health System. This means that if I am seriously ill, I drive to Germany and get it fixed, whilst in England one would wait on the beck and call of professionals!
By the By, in the "Echo Victor" pic you see I have a handbag on my shoulder, ladies often used to say "look after my bag till I get down" as the "Pie Chaser" was quite cramped in the back seats.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen.................
