it was the heart what did it for me. Made a very good recovery from a heart attack, no change in anything except my flying. I heard it would have been possible to get my medical back after a year without death - but the hoops I would have had to jump through to satisfy those nice CAA medics would have killed me. I could have gone from PPL to NPPL, doctor perfectly happy to sign the form. But at 70 and with lots of flying behind me I decided to hang up the electric hat. Must confess to being a bit grumpy when I hear someone enjoying themselves on a CAVOK day.
