As the person who put a spoke in the wheel by suggesting that we make a little more room for Danny, that was
all that I was calling for. I would not suggest for one moment that other posters should go elsewhere with their tales of gaining a Pilot Brevet, other Brevets, or indeed any other Rite of Passage, into the RAF, FAA or AAC.
This thread has broken so many of the OP restraints that WWII (not WW11
) has now been left far behind. My point is that we still have that link with Cliff et al in Danny, and we are all keen for him to go on telling his story. If for any reason he needs a bit of a sabbatical from what must not become an onerous task for him then again my apologies, not least to Danny. We have many offerings to keep the pot boiling meantime.
In short I agree with Beagle (a variation on "I agree with Nick"!) to go with the flow. Just make sure that Danny is accorded the fast flowing current mid stream in this best of all PPRuNe threads!
