Mr Numan

[andyt]

As Im a Ppruner thirty something ! I once remember a Mr Gary Numan, a big popstar in my teens, who was known to be keen pilot. Does anybody know if he still flies ? I remember him recalling flights that he'd made to exotic locations on TV many years ago and of numerous forced landings that he'd done , but havn't heard anything of him for years .
Just interested !!!

Hi I last saw him a couple of years back at Biggin Hill he was flying as lead in a two ship Harvard/zero/display,which included formation aeros,The flying was very accomplished more so than his earlier days.I think you will find he is still flying not sure about displaying though. Bye for now

I met Gary last year at a gathering to celebrate the life of the ace warbird display pilot and Virgin Captain, Norman Lees. I think at the time he was a bit subdued about it all, but got the impression that he was still flying on a regular basis.

Regards.

Wasn't that how one of Mr N's fab hits used to go?

Nowadays he is often to be seen at North Weald, hanging out with the Yak-istas.
