Apparently I have always wanted to fly....when I was a very young boy I used to sit on the corner of the washing machine and pretend that I was flying. I originally started out not involved in aviation, but after a few years of work I was ready for a career change, had the time and money to do it....so jumped in. I haven't looked back.
I was given a Corgi 500 police helicopter for a birthday at a very young age, I also had a Britain's Toy Farms ICI 300C spray helicopter which both were played with tirelessly. The great thing is that I still have the Corgi police 500 which proudly sits on a shelf in my office.
