My sorry little list is P1 in a Viking on a VGS.
AEF time in Chipmonk and Bulldog, wih by far the most 'stick time' in the Bulldog. Along with as many 'blagged flights' as possible, including JP5, C130, VC10, Fokker F-27, Wessex, Seaking Mk3. With as much 'stick time' as the P1's authoriation allowed.

Flew passanger in Vans Rv8, Aeronca Super Chief, Chipmunk (G-ALWB), Grob Tutor. Solo'd in a Vigilant.
Maybe if I'm successful in becoming a Pilot in the Military I can add some more aircraft to that list!

My list
I wasn't going to reply but it was only when I added them all up that I realised it's not a bad list! Here it is:
P1 - Grob Viking, Firefly 260, Tucano, Hawk T1/1A/1W, Hawk T2, Hawk 115, Jaguar GR3/3A/T4
Others (touched the controls, does that make it P2?!) - Chipmunk, Alphajet, Jaguar T2, Gazelle, Jet Ranger, Falcon DA20, Piper Cherokee, Cessna 152 (I think, although it may have been a 172)
Pax - Puma, Seaking, Merlin, Blackhawk, Tristar, VC10, Nimrod, C17, C130 and I'm not going to count all the various airliners I have been on although I did spend both the outbound and inbound legs of a family holiday on the flightdeck of a Brittania 757 to Madeira thanks to my parents writing a begging letter on my behalf. Capt Geoff Clack and I believe someone with the surname Pepper spring to mind as flightdeck crew. I wonder where they are now?!
