Not forgetting his Trooper beer brewed by Robinsons in Stockport. This article shows how enthusiastic he is about everything.

I think the connection is explained earlier in the thread in that Bruce bought (and flies) a Fokker DR.1.

I’ve met the Rocker with the Fokker - what a nice chap. But then again so is Brad Pitt who also has a PPL and is a down to earth person that I have had the pleasure to meet. So was Gary Numan (who? Says a Millennial), David Jason, Mark Webber, the Duke of Edinburgh, Wills and Vorders who I admire immensely on many levels! All bounce around the flying ‘circuit’ to varying degrees, and flying is great leveller when you get a chance to chat.

Name dropper? Moi? :cool:

The perhaps foolish assumption I've made is that he doesn't post on here any more, hence it wouldn't matter whether it was known or not.

Run to the hills, run for your life.
(sorry couldn't help it)
Well done Bruce.

Congratulations Bruce. I gather he may be fencing for the RAF. The other services had better up their game

Bugger!! He'll get one of the MBE's they hand at at Honours time now..................... :{

I can think of far less worthy recipients.
