During the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002, I was offered the chance to sit in the back of Sterling's Bolkow while the pilot Simon C practised the Ladies' Cycle course. I was accompanied by the lovely JJ who was at great pains to explain that the vibration was nothing to worry about. Not worried in the slightest, was my reply!

When we landed, no-one could have wiped the silly grin off my face. I proclaimed that I just had to do it. Within the year I got my PPL! And went on from there with so much support from many people here ... both online and in the flesh so to speak!

Special thanks to Alan, Roy, Dick, David B, Peter, JJ, Gerry, Tim, Helen, Zoran, and Paul!

Cheers
