P W Cooper has said it all really.

E). Hi - vis required.

Does your dad have a 70`s shirt that you could borrow for the day ?

l`m not convinced that "hi-vis" has been properly quantified.

Shobden is a blast from the past for me .... a Twin Pioneer rotting away,

ambulances refusing to take an injured glider pilot to hospital in Hereford

because they had an arrangement with the para club not to turn out for

broken bones, - the chap in question was lifted into a car front seat and

the dangly leg was folded onto his lap for the journey to Hereford Hospital.

Would you begrudge him a smuggled bottle of Guinness ?,

mind it was a good caff.

l also remember a chappie in a wheel chair - ex fleet air arm l think - trying

to charge me a landing fee for arrival in a pawnee to have a farmers

coach bolt changed for a proper one. He seemed totally unaware that l`d

slipped in with parachutists landing both sides of the runway.

These things happen.

Obviously getting money out of me didn`t.

l remember him as a gentleman. Some time ago now.

ps. l won`t do the spaces again, l`m snow blind.
