Once again I add my thanks to your storytelling Centaurus.

I notice you I and other people who flew real aeroplanes ... wires, tubes, rag and noise often talk about going out for a bit of a fly in the training area, doing stalls and spins.

Spins. Did 'em all the time for the fun of it. Now!... Fear, trepidation... DANGEROUS manoeuvre.

Gees I'm so pleased to have been there through many of the great times where we were frightened of nothing because we'd been taught by the old and bold and practised till we had confidence.

We weren't frightened of getting close to danger but had a deep respect for it and it's warning signs.
