Retired???
Having been on Conversion Course No.1 (January 1970) I'm proud to say that Old Sea King Pilots don't retire - they just gently fade into la dolce vita.

I guess that the OLD Sea King pilots are enjoying a bliss full retirement and taking the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of there labor.
Maybe sometimes when some young sprog of a pilot who is willing to fill his glass at the bar, a few edited stories of what it was like flying the Queen of the Skies would be forthcoming.
An amiable bunch of aviators.

I think they take a time to stop the nightmares about platform failures.
Did you ever see the Parkinson and Billy Connolly interview in the last ever series? Billy said that you know your growing old when as you pick things up or getout of chairs you make an audible noise. Not a groan more like a "whoooo thats got it" or "Geeeeeeeeeeee".
Sea King pilots get this earlier in life! Next time you get out of a chair ...... or better still ask your better half!
So the twitching, groaning old bloke in the corner shouting Torque spilt call NR! Trim trim trim trim! Or my favourite, gets the nulls in line![Think Michael Caine]!

You being so caught up in the fish hook Bootneck set for you on the other thread! It used to be called SAR harmonisation but its a bit off that at the moment!
Well, I think I have been very good in not writing about the name you mentioned!
Operation creep forward, now there was a story!

One flew over the minibus - a new motion picture based around a journey at RIAT!

TC - so where do you think Sea King drivers SHOULD go after leaving?
Fake Sealion - I think you could add Virgin Captains to your list too!
I think we should all take our skills out into the big wide world and make sure that anybody who wants to can learn from our experience and/or mistakes! And if you get cold and miserable doing that in Blighty - live in Florida and still do it!!!
