Reader123,
Thanks for the compliments (but I suppose I owe it to my ancestry that I seem to have been endowed with the "gift of the gab" !). But to take your point, my view is that it's fine for people who carried on in the RAF or civil aviation after war service to continue on the Thread after finally taking uniform off, but to carry on in it into a future tale of some humdrum civil job is simply "not on" (and I would expect the Mods to stamp on it).
That is not to say that I may not pop in from time to time with titbits which have amused me, but there will be no consecutive story of my coming trials and tribulations in C&E.
And you've guessed correctly - it's not all over yet.
Cheers, Danny.
