ONCE A SQUIPPER ALWAYS A SQUIPPER
Did you really understand where all those 'kin straps were meant to go?

I recollect having a standing invitation to go over to Colt (was it?) for a ride in the trainer but the thing which put me off was all the safety equipment and bang seat drills and then the T4 (?) may have been unavailable so I just went off from my ground tour and flew ATC cadets in the Chippy.
AND I HAVE KICKED MYSELF EVER SINCE!! *


* A bit more than I do for having to take up a civvy flying job and pass on RAF and RHA riding courses. The mil did have its plus points: sports, overseas expeditions, ciggies & booze at rock bottom prices (yeah, OK perhaps not so good for us )
