Well I could go back to flying Hastings and Varsity for the queen, and having a navigator to even do that. (Navigate that is, the flight engineer did the crossword, although it always seemed to be the Times or Telegraph)
Then I thought I was giving up getting wet sitting on a flight deck when I left and joined the 'civies', but there I was again, on a shed flight deck wearing a raincoat to keep dry in rain storms.
Would I have missed any of it? Not a lot, but some of it - you betcha!
