One weekend not long past at Old Buckenham in Norfolk in flew a Bonanza. This aircraft was in wondrous immaculate condition, a really beautiful and well cared for specimen. The aeroplane had tip tanks, radar and was owned and flown by a man and his woman who obviously really cared for the machine. This aircraft stimulated lust and longing in my breast for with this machine any professional pilot would be happy, either flying IFR on airways, shooting an ILS at 140kts to a 1NM final or just bumbling around the continent with a range to get you down to Rome on one tank fill. The snag is though that you'd need a bob or two to run it. So if I were really you, I'd set my flying sights on an end game like that and go and earn the money to enable you to do what all we pilots really like doing best which is to fly to our maximum professional capabilities, all for fun and damn the masses to perdition.
