Ancient Aviatores.....
.....last week whilst visiting family in Kent I (very) briefly met a 94 yr old ex-RAF pilot called Buster. He would fit in here a treat. Apropos of not a lot my friend asked him if he'd had his flu jab. No, he hadn't and explained that he'd been taken off usual flying duties to pilot Horsa gliders for Arnhem. He got a bad attack of flu and missed the op. All his fellow course members were killed.
"I owe my life to flu" he said "so I'm never going to have a jab!" Not a view I'd completely support but I understood what he meant.
He had gone through the Arnold scheme too. I'm not sure that he has a computer so how I could let him read bits of this thread I'm not sure (see my location).
Any suggestions?

PS Both the ladies with us agreed that he had a wicked gleam in his eye and might have been a bit of a tearaway as a young man (which they seemed to approve of!)
