Retirement?

Hi Guys
Now aged 82, I started my aviation career in 1951 as a Meteor F8 pilot.
Did my civil ATC course in 1960. Worked in the UK with NATS for 17 years, then joined IAL and was operational worldwide for 15 years.
After a spell in IAL HQ Southall, got into ATC training. I got hooked! Have just completed an APR and and an ADI course. Much travelled wife and I, still have a busy social life...away from ATC. Keep doing what you can as long as you can and still enjoy "retirement"
