Thanks for the post 'AA',....I'm not 'in competition'.... I just went to make a 'brew'....

Hi Norman,
Bob Jarvis - Did my CPL Flight Test with Mr Jarvis. It was a crap day re weather, but he said we would 'work around it', and so we went.
An interesting and 'successful' flight.
On the first sector of the flight, the cloud was 'not far away', and the engine of the 172 gave the tiniest of changes of tone.
I immediately went to pull on the Carby Heat - and found my hand on the back of Bob's - and he was pretending to read a publication all that time....
He didn't miss much.
A gentleman.

Ray McLean - one of Life's real characters, and a very good instructor.
First met Ray at Albion Pk, then later at 'Aircraft Rentals' at BK.
John Cougle of Aircraft Rentals and he decided 'one night' to get three distinct regos,....VH-SEX, SIN, & SON, and to park them outside in that order.

They got SEX, a PA-30. Instructions were when booking the acft, do NOT even think of asking the receptionist for....
SIN was a Seneca, but not with A/R, and SON a PA-31, also not with A/R.
