On another forum I frequent someone asked whether he was the greatest pilot the UK had ever produced. I pointed out that given that he has the record for the most types flown I would say there's an argument that he's the greatest pilot the world has ever produced.
There's 486 on the list earlier in this thread. I'm only 480 behind!
Cessna 150, 152, and 172
Piper PA38 and PA28
CAP 10b
I guess I've a long way to go. People like him are truly inspiring.
