It gets even worse when they replace the those museum exhibits and gate guardians that you used to fly with newer aircraft types!
Now, when I was on Whirlwinds....first rotary winged flight at the SAR flight RAF Leconfield 1977. Got a couple of chances to pole the aircraft as well as being their "duty survivor" which inspired me to ask to be re-streamed rotary wing. Last flight @ RAF Shawbury May 25th 1979. Oh happy days! It was a big aircraft as a basic trainer, especially as they made us do solo engine offs to the ground in it as mere basic students!
