Pre-Divorced !

Years ago, when I started gliding, members of the club were making polite conversation and asking about my domestic situation. "I'm recently separated" I told them. "oh, pre-divorced" came the reply. Since then I have come to understand that it is men, not ladies who find cars and aviation sexy. Even my girlfriend, who follows F1 and gets the off-side rule was less than impressed with our first flight. Far from the scene out of the film 'The Aviator' which I had imagined, our first flight ended with an abort 2/3 of the way up the runway and when we finally did get aloft, she filled an entire sick bag. (not sure if was my flying, the turbulance or just being over Northampton)

While your lady is not actively discouraging you, take this as a ringing endorsement, and save your runway light moments for this forum. Yes they are just beautiful
