First solo 51 years ago in an Ercoupe out of Stapleford Tawney. Summer holidays between 1st & 2nd year 6th, couldn't wait to ring Dad; but he was asleep before night shift and Mum wouldn't wake him!
Another first solo a few years later at Dartmouth, like Democritus but in a Chippie, and later still a helicopter first solo at Predannack in the Hiller 12E. How time flies when you're having fun!
