Hipper: So sorry about your condition, but there is a cure - a daily application of PPRuNe juice!!!
Ah, the Carvair!!! noisy DC4 "jumbos" They used to fly over on approach at Southend, almost demolishing the TV aerials....
Now you've only got to read the "Sunderland" thread in AH&N to be swept back in time all over again.... and another Amazon lot of books!!
Welcome aboard, and fasten seat belt!!
