First flew when I was 9 years old...still remember standing, apprehensively, at the cold, dismal gate at a rainy Manchester Airport at midnight (really seemed like the middle of the night for a 9 year old!) and as soon as I heard those engines running up, that was it, I knew what I wanted to do!
First flew on my 14th birthday, got a paper round and saved every penny so I could fly again. Finally got my PPL last year (at the age of 20) Did the traditional airfix kits, standing at the end of 24 at manchester in awe for hours on end, watching all the films...and really boring my family!
That RHS in a 737 still beckons..!
