BOAC and john_tullamarine
Bless you both for your inputs. However following a couple of DVTs and breaking the odd ECG machine the docs have convinced me that while travelling in the UK is one thing, going overseas in an aeroplane is quite another. Indeed my poor daughter who is holding her 50th birthday party in Germany next month has had to come to terms with the fact that I shall not be joining her on the day.
Actually that is not the whole truth re Oz. My mother in law resides there and I know she employs agents at all the points of entry to assist her in getting her hands on me. So Oz is out. I would rather try and kick start a Spitfire.
