Sadly, a similar problem afflicts us maintainers as the years go by. It's a year or two since I last wielded a spanner in anger, and a good few more since I wielded my first on XL392, a mighty Vulcan in the factory at St Athan.

30 years on at least I can still see real live aeroplanes out of my office window and on those days when it is freezing cold and wet thank the Lord for small mercies.

Busta 13th Aug 2008 22:10

When you can remember chasing women, but you can't remember why.

Nothing matters very much, most things don't matter at all.

When your students say "How long have you been flying, sir?" and the answer is "about twice as long as you've been on the planet".

PingDit 14th Aug 2008 06:49

When just about everyone I currently work with weren't born when I joined up....
