I believe Wing Commander Ken Wallis MBE celebrated his 90th birthday yesterday by taking a 90 year old friend flying in one of his autogyro's.

Not only has he broken and held many rotorcraft records, invented and refined many autoguro designs and invented slot car racing among other things it appears he has also discovered the secret of eternal youth.

He has made a date with his friend to have another flight in ten years time.

What an absolutely amazing person.

What an inspiration, I hope I can fly an auto gyro at 90.

Will watch for your posting in ten years.
