I ahve been displaying that kind of behaviour for years. i am just lucky people are sympathetic.

Choose a 'left' and a 'right' LEATHER dark-coloured glove at a sports supermarket.

Now that's good advice.... you will need one of each!

golf - I tried to like it but couldn't

While you are in the golf attire section you could pick up some really natty checked trousers, some of those severely pimped shoes with black and white uppers, a pringle sweater complete with lurid check pattern and a ridiculous hat of some sort. Then try to pretend that you are having fun whilst chasing a tiny yet rock hard ball around a boggy field on a dreary drizzly day in the middle of a force 9 gale... oh the joys of golf (in the UK)!

Does anyone know of a source of leather gloves that are similarly thin enough to operate awkward switches and buttons, but are either more durable or cheaper, and preferably start off life "oil coloured" ?

get down to Tesco and just buy their latest winter gloves - black or brown only but they keep your hands warm, are as fire retardent as any cow and hide the oil.

No, really, I've got a pair, they're great. They do a thin lined leather pair that are great and about a fiver.

OK, Shy Torque and scooter boy et al.
'Spose I left myself WIDE OPEN for all that !

Anyway, I'm sticking with them.... and I'm certainly no HH !

Sleeve Wing,

Next time you go to the sports supermarket for flying gloves, go to the Boxing/Martial Arts department.

Boxing gloves will protect your fists when you need to punch below average students like TheGorrilla.

[TheGorrilla]

Punching False Capture however would be a waste of time..... He uses his fists enough on himself!!

[Captain Wan King]

Latex gloves are my favourite ... but they don't offer much fire protection for flying.

A word of caution. Many moons ago, an ex RAF mate was doing his ATPL training on a light twin and reached forward to adjust the heading bug. As he moved his right hand back, the divergent cuff of his Cape leather flying glove caught on the port throttles and caused an embarrassing loss of thrust!

You keep those for what you usually use them for ! Er, washing the.......... car, wasn't it ??

Now where can I hide from you guys ??

[TheGorrilla]

You could try hiding in a small cupboard in the back of a hangar in the darkest depths of eglm..... be afraid though...
