CPL/IR(R)/CRI, rated a bunch of stuff. Working to get the same ratings with FAA and a full IR - also just added aerobatics.
1770
Bulldog T1, 1990
Aviation Career and a commercial pilot's licence - but not a career pilot, and have never stopped flying for fun.

1. Gliding 'C' Certificate and Air Cadet G1 (both well lapsed.); PPL(A)
2. About 400.
3. Oct 1964, Slingsby T21b Sedburgh (gliders); Oct 1971 Cessna 150 (powered)
4. Fun but when NATS sent me on a PPL course they said it was because I might be required to fly as part of my air traffic control duties.
