Wanted to fly helicopters for as long as I can remember, my parents cleverly used this ambition as the carrot to make me work hard at school.
Started flying gliders with the air cadets in my teens, which was great fun but I was missing that extra "dimension" you get when flying a helicopter.
After a stint in the military have been flying helicopters in civvy street for more than 20 years and consider myself lucky to have achieved my dream.
Can't imagine what it is like to have to "work" for a living
