NewBloke - my boy!
I think we can get you started nicely..... I have this old wicker armchair that leans back a treat. I'm open to offers....
Then theres a really nice bakelite telephone; a genuine TANNOY speaker and a pot of 1942 Brylcreem, and.....

I have been perilously close to taking a Grob into Stansted before now and I can tell you that the prospect of paying that sort of landing fee was not a happy one! Mercifully we made it back into North Weald & then proceeded to spend the equivalent of the landing fee we thought we'd just saved out celebrating.

Yeah, but this isn't any old Grob!
Cruising at 50 000 ft and straight in at 42 miles!
The landing fee would be minimal in the scale of the fun!

"Stansted, Grob overhead Old Buck Flight Level 500 requesting straight in approach"

(Smug reply) "Grob copy your transmission and understand you are at FL 50" (yawn, don't you PPLs understand flght levels?)

"negative Stansted, Fifty thousand feet and heading in, right down the slot!"

50 000 in 42 miles would blow their Boeing / Airbus minds... well worth a couple of million of disposable income!

I would expect applause when I arrive in my NASA pressure suit!

Dreams are made of this.

I think i would buy a Nice 421C nice car nice house and piss the rest up the wall

Live Fast
Die young

King Air, if I won Big. Beech Duke if I one not so big. Aztec Turbo if I one under a mil, but over £200,000. Any less and I'd by a little Issacs Fury for fun :)

It would be the WACO - saw one last year at Oshkosh.

Then a model 12 Pitts for fun

more chance of growing a second head than winning the lottery!

Zaphod managed it!

See you in St Tropez

Perhaps I should buy a ticket first, I am probably the only member of the population to never have brought a lottery ticket!

Pilatus Turbo Porter looks like fun. PT6 power and outrageous filed performance. Lso, it features what Alan Bramson described (I I recall correctly) "modified gothic" side windows.. that's the clincher for me.
