I do have my old gym skirt somewhere but sadly I doubt I could fit into it now! I went to a trendy, progressive 70s state school where uniform was very lax so no, I don't have a uniform. Best I could probably manage is my old Pony Club tie!

Cheers

Whirls,

Would not that old school uniform look a bit.....errrr....odd worn with the Gold Lame' Go-Go boots you wear as normal daily attire?

I am afraid you would be a distraction sitting anywhere but the very back due to your Beehive Hairdo....must admit I have never seen one of those with pigtails.

That must be a fetching sight!

My training manual says something about discipline.....

Anyhow, I think we've got enough now, thanks - we've got a good spread of experience and I look forward to seeing you all there and listening to all the ribald comments from the cheap seats!

Paco's CRM Course at High Wycombe

I found today's CRM course at High Wycombe extremely informative and enjoyable. As a recent PPL (H) with aspirations to pursue helicopter flight commercially it was also great to hear the stories and comments from the numerous experienced commercial pilots on the course. With this in mind I whole heartedly recommend the course to others. Paco thanks a lot for all your effort.

Absolutely agreed - thanks paco . The course was pitched at all levels; for those with 1,000s hours and those with only a few. Great to meet everyone, have a chat and a few laughs, learn from others experiences and mistakes!

Cheers

It was nice seeing all you guys - but you missed 170's story about the heart attack (not his) in the 747 afterwards in the bar......

Phil

Just got back home to Shropshire!

VMT for your invite to the course today. Did you pass?

Even though I considered myself one of the more experienced attendees it was very interesting to hear anecdotes from other parts of the globe.

Further to my tongue-in-cheek request for a free lunch, in my haste to hit the M40 I didn't offer to pick up the tab for my bacon butty. Please send me your details so I can settle up.

Once again, VMT. Thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Thanks Paco...

I Really enjoyed the day!..

I Highly recommend the course for young and old. I think less experienced pilots get some really good food for thought and more experienced people get to re-visit areas generally forgotten about in day to day life...

Additionally, it was nice to meet some proon 'handles' and put a few faces to names. A couple of stalwarts even made a night of it, but somehow I'm sure your not surprised ...Thanks again....170'

Thumbs up

I also have to say thanks to Phil for giving us his time and being so generous. I also think his idea of inviting some "experienced" guys along was ingenious because it showed us that the rule book might be black and white but life is not and what might look like a bad decision on the face of it could transpire to be inspired.

Shame I did not manage to speak to all of you, but as you well know we already stretched every coffee break to breaking point just by chatting to the person next to you.

I would have to say though the stars where Phil and 170' though the CAA chap was not going to be left behind, very enlightened chap.

We must get together again, that was simply wholesome fun.

Thanks everyone BS
