What a most brilliant answer to a painful and avoided subject,it should be Notammed for the benefit of aviators worldwide. At least you avoided the hot poker treatment,well at least thats what it felt like for some 6 weeks after the Op,not only barred from flying but also horse riding .It still brings tears to my eyes and it happened 15 years ago.
Stick to real ale rather than this new fangled stuff, it improves the flow if you get my drift !!
